And the Snow Fell

Snow Falling

 I shoveled snow yesterday. 

It was the first time in three years that I picked up a shovel and moved the cold white stuff around. 

We received a lot of snow, maybe 10 inches. Ugh!

I had a conversation with a 10yo boy yesterday about the snow. He suggested to me that Maryland had never seen as much snow before and I told him about Snowpocalypse in 2010 and the 30 inch blizzard of 2016. We have been hammered before, but not so much in recent years and so it is easy to forget or not know about the big storms of the past.

Schools are closed for the second consecutive day. I, however, expect to get out into the world today for some reason or another.

I did have the experience of helping a neighbor get his car unstuck. It reminded me of old times. Not fond memories of old times, just old times. It always seems that someone's car gets stuck somewhere.

I do miss my palm trees and warm sun.
