Snow, Shoveling, Cigars, Cocktails, Dinner, Movie

Saturday, February 8, 2025

Finally some snow. We've had relatively little this season and it's so much easier to deal with psychologically when you haven't already had 3 months of it. 

The sun was out for a decent amount of time.

Which made 20 degrees not feel as cold. 

Dale and I got most of the snow shoveled earlier but we got a trace bit more so I decided to get that up since I was outside.  

The sun along with blue sky and snow looked really pretty. 

Dale and I drove to the store to get makings for oven baked pasta. 

Cocktails and snacks while dinner was in the oven.

Broccoli along with the pasta.

We were in the mood for Alfred Hitchcock so we watched Rear Window. What an awesome movie. The ending is still suspenseful even if you've seen it before and know what's gonna happen.

January 23 - Snow Day

Yesterday's snow ended up being quite a storm. Turns out buses had a difficult time getting kids home from school yesterday afternoon. Citywide, some didn't drop off kids until 8 p.m.  Woke up this morning to hear on the radio that school was cancelled due to roads and streets still being a mess. Snow day!!

After walking home and shoveling yesterday I estimated there was at least 8 inches of snow that had fallen. Dale told me this morning that it was actually around 11 when all was said and done. 

It was a glorious sunny day today. And the backyard looked great. Dale did a little more shoveling this morning and I did a little touch-up on the driveway. Dale had to work and I spent a lot of time doing laundry and lying on the couch. 

It's the 7th anniversary of this blog by the way.

President's Day 2014

Lots of snow overnight. I was off today so I had the pleasure of shoveling all of it. My guess is that we got about 5 inches. The photo above was taken as Athena and I returned from a walk.

The Snowmound Returns!

Hey, we actually have a snow mound this year! Did a little shoveling just before snapping this shot.  According to Paul Douglas, 2 inches of snow fell yesterday at MSP airport.

Wet Heavy Snow

Got a workout this morning after the overnight snowfall! It was raining when I went to bed.
