How Much Snow

It started to snow last evening almost right on the predicted time. It is still snowing as predicted. It is to stop by 7:00 pm. We are looking forward to that being accurate, or else it could stop sooner. Our downstairs friend thought at times it was snowing two inches per hour. I know it is a lot. I went out to put stuff in the compost bin. It would have been smarter to have worn gloves. The snow on there was at least six inches deep so to find the lid required brushing it off with a bare hand. Then the lid did not want to come up. What a struggle. We shoveled the front sidewalks once more. We also do the neighbors on each side of our house. They both have some health issues. One of them will do it ahead of us getting out there, so I like to keep at it. He is quite weak, but sometimes he does our walk as well. Guilt sets in if that happens too much. The other, under doctor’s orders cannot do anything like that. The area outside of the garage and the alley is still snow covered because we run out of energy. We will work hard to get that done before the end of the day. It is to be colder and then it will be very hard to get that melty, frozen stuff off the surface. We tried to do that. It was quite challenging. We only cleared enough to get one car out. We hope they can clear the alley, but know that they are busy in many places of the city. One picture is what the sidewalk looked like about an hour after shoveling.

The other is the view out our office window. The violet thrives in this window.
