A Nighttime Blizzard Let's see - today we broke the all-time January single day snow record. Parts of town received 22 inches. And according to the National Weather Service: THE 57.6 INCHES OF SNOW WE HAVE RECEIVED THIS SEASON (MOST OF WHICH FELL IN THE LAST MONTH) IS 21.5 INCHES MORE THAN THE AVERAGE SEASONAL TOTAL UP TO JANUARY 3RD. We probably got about 15 inches of snow. Early in the evening, Peter, Tygey, and I went out for a hike while we were still in the midst of the blizzard. It made for an interesting nighttime shot. 9:47:52 PM    comment []

Snowed In! Evidently December was our fourth snowiest December on record. Yipee! Those are the kind of records I like! And as I type on January 3, 2007 we're in the midst of yet another blizzard. It seriously doesn't get any better than this. I'm working from home today - I had my private yoga lesson at 10:30 AM and it's easier to just work from home on those mornings than to go into work and then zoom back home. Anyhoo, after the lesson, I took Tyge out for a walk and the snow was up past his gunnels. We have over a foot of snow. It wasn't hard to figure out that I was basically snowed in. There was really no way Henry II could make it out of our cul de sac. We have a giant mountain (mountain range really) of snow that the city hasn't cleared yet. As a result cul de sac maneuverability is greatly hindered. I think that if I had the whole cul de sac to work with, I could blast out of the driveway, around the cul de sac and then build up enough momentum to make it up the 1/4 mile hill to the nearest plowed road. But without that ability to build up a run at the hill, Henry II is pretty much marooned in the garage. Oh well - it's a hot chocolate kind of day! 2:16:37 PM    comment []
