Winter Under Glass

 I got up around four to use the bathroom and the snow was falling thickly, like molasses. You know how molassessy snow can get.

It’s 8:30 now and the snow continues. There is easily three inches on the ground. I’m going out at 9:00 with my leaf blower to clean up the front porch and blow the snow off the front steps.

I plan to wait out the snow before I go for the heavy equipment and blow the neighborhood.

In the meantime, it’s time for breakfast.

10:37AM: I just checked the webcams at Mt Spokane and captures this shot from the Snow Stake.

Then I clicked on the webcam focused on the Hour Glass and caught this adventurous guy.

An inspiration that I shall not emulate!

6:02PM: It finally stopped snowing around 3 and I got out to finish what Susan and I started earlier. We had about 7 inches.

It turns out that this was another batch of really wet snow. It took the snow blower a long time to get through it.

Susan insisted on helping and I thought it was high time she learned how to run the snow blower.

It's all cleaned up out there for now. They say more snow is coming on Friday.
