Two steps forward, one step back

We received maybe 6" of snow overnight, sleeting when I walked for the newspaper, raining now. And about 27 F, which leads to interesting possibilities for that rain, of course. I ran the snowblower and cleared walks and steps, but did not clear off the cars -- if we get a layer of ice, it's easier to clear the cars if that is on top of a layer of snow.

And I still had the snowblower running when the city plow came back to make a second run at blocking us in, so I won _that_ skirmish. We take joy where we can find it.

Now drying out, with balaclava and mitts on the radiator and jacket hung next to it, and a hot cup of coffee in my hand.

I just looked at the satellite map, and I see that Maine is covered up in crap. If it's any consolation, we got that yesterday and right now it's pretty much gone. The streets and sidewalks are clear of frozen stuff, though it's covering the lawns. I hope it's gone soon for you too.
