Walking through the snow this afternoon was rough. I shoveled in the morning and again in the afternoon. I thought I would try to walk just a little way up the hill to see a bit of view. I didn't make it that far. The snow is up to my knees. I'm hoping for better tomorrow. There will still be shoveling to do; the cars aren't cleared out yet and the plow will be back tomorrow. Having a friend plow is wonderful. The truck got stuck at the end of the driveway and had problems slipping to get up the hill. But I am still very grateful that they came to plow us out. Other things today that made me happy:
- My Dungeons and Dragons character went up a level again and they will be harder to harm and have more magic spells--well, partially depending on the roll of the dice still.
- It was nice to see a friend today even though the conditions were that he was plowing the driveway. There was a point where he and I were trying to shovel out the plow truck and everyone else was inside. K came out to make sure he got some cookies before leaving. I let her know that he wasn't done, we've been trying to shovel out the plow. She was all apologetic, she thought that he and I were just doing Pelican things (we both have the high service awards in the SCA, called a Pelican). She thought we were going above and beyond rather than troubleshooting. 🤣
- The imitation tree that is outside under a roof, but not much for walls, is beautifully flocked with snow from the storm.
- The petunias still look good, but they were also frozen when I took a picture of them.
- Gideon can get absolutely giddy with laughter playing D & D.

Not that much came up to the door. There is an overhang. |

In a house that was at least partially built in 1745, I have to wonder how much snow it has stood through. |

Cleaning off the roof a bit. |

Those are my knees. I estimate we got close to two feet, but not quite. |

Pretty snow covered tree.

The ripple in the force... um snow... are my footprints. |

Stay safe.
