Snow day

In addition to all the snow we got on Friday and Saturday, they're predicting another 4-8" of heavy snow, with a wind advisory tonight. Normally I would pooh-pooh this, except that the mountain road over Mount Tom, which has an 8% grade, is closed for the duration.

Also, they cancelled church services today. Guess who's going to spend the day at home, knitting, watching TV, and reading?

Holiday greetings

Happy Chanukah, to those who celebrate the Feast of Lights. A great miracle happened indeed!


And a blessed and bright Yule to those who keep to Nature's path. The sun is returning, even if it's snowing outside!

This weekend's sign that the Apocalypse is upon us

Two people on snowmobiles puttered past while I was shoveling out the bottom of the driveway.

On the street.

In a suburb.
