Winter White...20º

Sunday night, while we slept, the predicted storm arrived...It came in on a silent note, no howling wind to wake us, just snow flakes falling, ever so gently, until it left 8+ inches of a light, fluffy blanket that greeted us at 5am.

Daylight came at 7am, so both Herb and I bundled up and were out the door into the fresh crisp air, taking in the wonder of it all...He on the 4-wheeler, with a plow, and me with my snow shovel and broom...We agreed to work slowly and stop before we got too tired or cold...An hour later we had made a good start and it was time for breakfast, french toast and sausage.

We worked like this all morning, taking breaks, when needed...I put spaghetti sauce in the crockpot to simmer away for our dinner...We both got ample exercise, but wondered if the track was being plowed at school, so we would have a safe place to walk, when our snow turns to ice, as it most often does...All of the county schools were closed for the day and I assume they opened Fergi, for a day of powder runs, probably over a foot of new snow for skiers, young and old.

The sun came out, warming the temperature into the 40's, making it perfect to shovel in my shirt sleeves...We relaxed in the afternoon, it was a picture perfect day...Hugs to All...OWAV:)

The deck is all done.

A path to the car port and mail box.

The back parking area all plowed.

John came by late afternoon and "raked" our roof.

A well earned dinner, spaghetti and salad.
