OK, so I removed some of the last bits of snow off the sidewalk and driveway, thereby ensuring that it will in fact be warm and rainy enough to get rid of all of it before it freezes again. You are welcome!
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I just shoveled for the second time. About another 4 inches had fallen since the last time I was out.
Also, it sounds like everything around here is going to be closed through Tuesday, because of the beastly cold on top of a huge amount of snow. I have a feeling I'll be working from home tomorrow at least.

The snow is deep enough here we had a bit of trouble finding a place where the dog could cross the street this morning. Six more inches by nightfall, and then the cold sets in. High of minus 12 tomorrow. Oy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Goodness. Stay warm and safe everyone!
I am also doing laundry, yee-haw.

Anne, you're still St. L, right? We have 5" in KC, and it's 13. Supposed to get more snow soon but it's on a break now. Supposed to be -9 +windchill tonight; methinks school will NOT be in session tomorrow.

Yup. Still in St. Louis. I'd guess we have about 7" right now where I am. My worry is that with the heavy winds this afternoon, people will end up losing power.

Because books.
It's raining here now, but by Monday night the temperature is supposed to drop into the single digits.
I'm not going out till spring if I can help it.

New bed skirt ironed and put on bed! Although I think it looks kind of stupid, possibly less stupid than the mattress? Currently in the laundry is all of my bedding, including the duvet. Let's hope washing it gets rid of my urge for a new one....
I will be very interested to hear if they still think it's a good idea to have the Super Bowl in a place with winter and no dome after this one.
