Snowplows rumble through

Air temperature 18 F, wind west about 6 mph, mostly cloudy. Debating whether we got enough snow to crank the snowblower rather than shoveling. Pluses and minuses . . .

Fimbulwinter fought

Ran the snowblower around the driveway and ancillary sidewalk. Didn't really need it for the 3" or so of snow, but I want to run it now and then just to keep it on its toes. Or clear the fuel lines, or whatever. Access to the world achieved.
