Wasn’t really expecting this, but then, I live on a main road, and side roads are probably still waiting to be cleared. That’s the problem with only having, like, 8 snowplows. ( If only they could harness the hot air from Congress …) This isn’t unprecedented, either. A Sunday storm a few years ago dropped 2 feet of snow and shut us down for 2 days. I’m glad, too — after doing the equivalent of about 50 squat-thrusts yesterday (bend, fill storage tub with snow, lift, carry, dump. One!), plus other activities, I’m a little sore.

Storm’s over, and it was a real one. Not just a wimpy DC-can’t function-with-a-dusting. Even Bee must agree that this was real snow, as compared to some snow standards.

Then came the digging out. Fortunately, my “driveway” is only the 5′ behind my car. OTOH, I didn’t have a shovel.
