We awoke to the howl of winter back biting at our heels. We made a gain of about 8 inches. (Grand totals should be around about 90 inches this season) It is always so hard to decide which stack of white is to be the measuring amount. I favor the grill lid, it is exposed enough to get snowed on but sheltered from wind.
Yesterday the deck was bare of snow as were the sidewalks and driveway. Not the case today. Ron took me to work in the pickup, which was the only guaranteed mode of transport. Underneath the heavy snow was a fine sheeting of ice. Windows with northern exposures had top to bottom marbleizing, a little splash of nature's artwork before the precipt turned to snow.
Most of the day it snowed and carved out more winter. Schools were cancelled and no travel in the area. At the nursing home it was a skeleton crew. Even our state surveyors, who arrived unannounced yesterday, (Monday) remained stranded in Minot. Better there than in Velva!
My mother used to say, "Tomorrow is another day." Yes, she is right and we will have to see what excitement it will bring. Today maxed itself out.
P.S. The photos don't really bring out the full brunt of the weather. One of those "had to be there" events.

Eesh! Stay warm and dry and no climbing those stairs or Dad will break his other arm or worse! Love that you had plastic Jesus guiding your way!
