Snow Daze

It's almost shocking to wake up in the morning, knowing that I don't have to go to work. Fortunately, for 5 of my first 10 days I had plenty of work to do, with a number of major spring snowstorms that dumped over 17 inches of snow on the Twin Cities. The first day I was thrilled to have physical work to occupy my body and mind; by Wednesday, April 24 -- our last snow day till next season, I think -- the thrill had receded and I trudged through clearing the deck and sidewalks. Bob did the blowing (not an easy task with thick, wet, heavy spring snow) and I shoveled. Tons of snow.

Today we should see our first temps above 60 since November 10.
