Nice day
12:03 pm
11º F, Bright sun, W wind 12 mph., Gusting to 33 mph., -4º F wind chill.
Good noon,
It is a beautiful day out today - at least so far. The wind is something of a problem, but is from the west now rather than the northerly quarter. Much easier to shovel the snow. It is coming right down the driveway. The snow is piling up to the side of the driveway rather than blowing back in my face again. That is not nice. The snow is not light, but no where near "heart-attack" snow by any means. This is the biggest snow fall since the first year we were here - now it is official, 13.1" of snow in 24 hours.
I did finally get out my cold weather jacket to wear. Also the long-johns, but not the red ones. Someplace I have left my insulated "work" gloves and am using the pair I try to keep somewhat clean. Have been using them for peeling poles too. Sure hope I find the work gloves before this pair get tore up. I also have misplaced my Sunday-go-to--meetin’ gloves I wear while driving. You’d think I am old enough to keep track of my clothes by now!
I have a path shoveled out to the outhouse and down the driveway to the cross drain I put in last year. I will continue to head for the road, but also some of the smaller paths I use to get to the woodpile and to the trash place. If I don’t after a few days and the snow starts to settle (maybe even melt), the foot prints I make become the high spots and are very slippery. Only want to make snow-angles when I want too, not by slipping. Hope to have enough shoveled so we can get out tomorrow for church. A snow plow went through about an hour ago.
Green Bay has a boat show starting today. I expect yesterday was set-up day for the exhibitors. That must have been fun! Hope the arena has a good drain system for melting snow! Wonder how many folks will go to it this year, or how many exhibitors will not be there. I had given half a thought to going this year. I went several years ago, but not since. Everything is so high priced now and the good old, small, fishing boats are non-existent now. Not too many wooden boats anymore either. I will have to look and see when the wooden boat show is at the Maritime Museum in Sturgeon Bay. That is impressive, but will have to wait until summer.
The house smells good! The aroma of starter causing some dough to rise. Expect to smell good bread baking too - soon. Might not go back to shoveling - instead testing the flavor of the latest product!
Time to get a-going.
