Weather, snow, weather, and more snow

It is now 17:45 and still snowing at home. Snow has been falling most of the day. Bonnie and Bill ventured to Sandy to grocery shop for Lois, Bonnie's mother. We stopped in Sandy and put on chains to travel down Ten Eyck, well more for traveling back up the hill. After Bills issues yesterday, a bit of caution was due. The chains made the trip up the hill a safe one with all the ice on the road.

Snow, amazing how much snow there was in Sandy. At least eight inches and it continued to fall the whole time we were there. Our concern now is loss of power at Lois's place. With temperatures in the low twenty's the house will cool quickly without the fan in the propane stove circulating the heat.

We can always tell when Old Man Winter has arrived. The robins come to clean the holly tree of its berries. Fun to watch them pick through the tree. Amazing how quick the berries disappear.

Our picnic table on the deck at home has a good eight inches on it. Per the weather reports, there is more snow to come. And then possibly the transition from snow to freezing rain to rain. A time Bonnie and Bill are very concerned about.
