Country Living

Got shoveled out -- I'm guessing about eight inches of fluffy stuff. It was a warm, pretty morning, really, very, very quiet, and the snow coming down just enough to be decorative. I cleaned off both cars, and came back inside for breakfast and coffee before trying to see if I could drive the little green Subaru through the ice berm left by the town plow.

Happily, the plow-guy came while I was getting breakfast; I ran out, moved the cars, he did his thing; I re-established the cars, finished breakfast, and off to work I went. First car into the parking lot; made tracks going in; got to invent a parking place as my prize. Yay, prize.

The grounds folks at the college are doing a really good job of keeping the sidewalks walkable this year; I think there's a new snowplower in the mix that's really making a difference. Go, grounds crew; you rock!

So, anyway, I'm in; my gloves and hat are on the radiator, and will -- probably -- be dry by the time I go home.

I can haz nap nao?

Is more than Maine thing, it does the same thing here in the midwest. If you see the sun you pay with VERY cold canadian air.

The most beautiful day I remember while living in Duluth was ground white with many feet of snow, sky an almost painfully intense blue and the lake red (clay under it had been churned up by the blizzard the day before and taken out the ice). The air temp was -25F and the wind chill -80F. -25F is too cold to snow.
