Frozen pipes are still frozen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It seems like they won't burst until they start thawing, and that's looking like...Friday. So. We have time to not be able to do anything?

That sounds right. Ugh! Terrible.

Snow in mid February isn't completely unusual, but 6" to 8" with another 4" to 8" predicted in two days is. I don't think I've seen snow accumulation like this since I was in college. They're saying we'll break the current low temperature record from 1905 tomorrow.

Driving over to my doctor's office for my annual checkup today was a bit more exciting than usual. Very pretty though!

Frozen pipes are no fun at all. Ugh.

eta: I've only had them freeze once while I was in residence, but several years when I go to Otter Lake in the spring we find that we didn't get all the water out of the lines and they have busted. Of course this is discovered when I turn on the water and it goes everywhere.

The good news this evening: my dog did not eat a magnet. I thought he did for about an hour, then I found it. (I knocked it off the fridge, he grabbed it and ran, when I caught him there was no magnet in his mouth. But apparently he dropped it on the way, whew!)

Puppy’s first day of doggy daycare is tomorrow! Here’s hoping they’re ready for his energy, because with the snow he’s barely been exercised the past couple days...(omg I need a break)

I’m glad the pipes don’t seem likely to burst, Dana.

We’ve had cold rain for the past several days. I’d prefer snow to be honest. Of course, I’m speaking as someone who wouldn’t have to go anywhere in it and who has good boots and a warm coat for playing in it. Maybe we’ll get some snow Thursday.

Yeah, taking your 10 week old puppy out to pee every 15-30 minutes in a snowstorm gets old pretty quickly. We ended up not getting that much, because it came as shitty little ice pellets instead of snow.

We're getting rain and more rain. We're mostly above freezing - supposed to be in the *50s* today! but predicted to get colder and wetter. sigh ....

What is the recipe of sj's? it sounds like something I'd like, but I don't remember seeing it ... I don't do Facebook or such (sorry ... kind of a luddite).

And in re the impeachment - wouldn't it have been kind of a win-win solution if a bunch of Republican senators said that they didn't regard the proceedings as valid and refused to participate and stayed away for the vote? As long as there was a quorum in the Senate, it could have been possible to achieve a two-thirds vote without them there.

Here's the recipe, Todd: [link]

Last night we watched the new animated show by various Bob's Burgers creators, with voice work by Nick Offerman titled The Great North. Basically like Bob's Burgers set in Alaska.

And it was great! Really enjoyed the first two episodes which were funny and sweet.
