Snow Bound

Hello, I remember a time when this much snow would not cause so many cancellations ahead of time. Generally, it was a game of wait and see. Now with the prediction of a major storm; schools, churches, and other organizations have cancelled many activities. Weather can still change, but the skills and equipment of the weather people have improved. Leroy and I went out and shoveled. He thinks five inches is on the ground out there. I am not so sure so he changed the number to four. It is cold enough that it is light and easier to move than sometimes. Leroy shoveled in the back and took on the front job. This includes neighbors on each side of us. Tiredness crept in along with the cold. My old mittens did not do a very good job protecting my fingers. They are my favorite so I do not want to part with them, but the time seems to be coming. Two of my fingers were quite numb by the time I came in the house. At least I recorded a number of steps. Leroy walked to bible study at church so he had quite a few but he only added about 1000 more. I get 3000 because the tracker is on my wrist. Leroy’s is his phone and it is in his pocket. We took our downstairs friend to the airport. The snow had started, but it was early so it was not a problem. It did not even seem to be slippery. It was good to get back home before the snow fall stepped up the pace. Paula
