The Sun Glistens off the new fallen Snow

Well, actually it does not. It is cold and snowing yet again as it has been on and off since last Friday. I was going to make the title of this post "Winter Sucks!" but decided not to.

Last Friday the snow started and the temperature, which had been slowly dropping, plummeted and for the weekend spent time in or near single digits! For those of you who rarely if ever see temps like this, anything they out on the roads to melt snow and ice simply stops working. They usually switch to sand or cinders so there is some traction.

So, the snow blower which had stood idle worked most days since last Friday worked daily to keep the driveway and walks clear. It's supposed to just be flurries starting later today after this round winds down and by Sunday its supposed to be in the 30's.
