Last night Leroy and I did not want to
shovel, or scrape off the wintery mix that came down in torrents at times. This
morning we got out, but it was quite hard work as it was stuck to the sidewalk.
We cleared the front walk where the public goes by and Leroy opened up a bit of
the space in back of the garage. I assured him I would get back out later in
the day.
First I went shopping after I knew commute
traffic would be gone. On the main street through town it was quite fine. The
flat alley was not bad either. I even went to three stores and got some errands
done.
After I came home I went out to clear
more off the sidewalk out to the garage and the sidewalk by the side of the
house and out to the street. Before I got that done I had to take a break and
have some lunch. The warm was melting quite a bit, but more pounding was needed
to make it passable. Before I could get back, my downstairs friend had down
quite a lot, but I helped her finish that before I headed back to the garage
and alley.
Especially after she told me it is to
snow or rain again tomorrow I tackled the alley with new resolve. It now looks
quite fine.
I just looked at the prediction. I am
not sure that I will be going to work tomorrow as it looks quite serious and
covers much of the day. I had planned to work the next three days to make up
some of my time, but I may just manage the last two when there is to be no
precipitation.
It was so strange while I was working
on the alley something started lightly hitting my head. Looking around I saw it
was snow or ice pellets. In a bit there was a flash of light. My neighbor who
was out saw me look up and called, “That was lightening.”
In a bit the roll of thunder confirmed
it. Such times we have.
