There must be at least 8in of snow on the deck, maybe more. It's been coming down all day without let-up and the plows have been plowing and replowing, but still the roads are white. Had to dig my car out in the parking lot at work with drifts coming up above my boots. Think I'll rethink the work essentials on snow days: better gloves, snow pants. The coat was perfect. When I got home I shoveled 2ft wide (on the 25ft long deck) beside the house. The snow is powdery but it's still very heavy. And now the rain/sleet is starting. But it's 4:30 pm and there is light outside! Amazing how a few minutes lengthening of each day makes such a difference.
Oddly, schools and such closed today. I don't know if it was because of ice predicted for the afternoon, but I didn't expect it.
Had a delightful week end in NC with the Beall clan. Had me some grits too! I may have to make a pot of them to take to work as everyone thinks they must be disgusting, even though they haven't tried them.
