Shoveling went slow. The bottom of the cover was wet, and that makes it difficult to lift, so, I took my time, spending time to dig one area three times, getting closer to the ground each time. I took many breaks along the way. I shoveled off the van as well as around them. (There are two here right now because we have a house guest, our friend from Denmark, who will be here through Christmas.
We had thoughts about going to the bookstore, but by the time we finished shoveling, there wasn't much time left, so we put that off until tomorrow. I'll have to clean the vans a tad again tomorrow, as I saw some more snow headed our way on the radar. But, it won't be as bad as today, that is for sure.
Right now they are forecasting another storm for Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day, but it is supposed to be rain. We'll see. If it is, it won't break my heart. If it isn't, and turns out to be frozen precipitation, it might break my heart.
I really feel that this is but the first storm of the winter, and that there will be more for us to deal with over the next few months. So much for global warming. I am tending to believe what that Russian scientist said a few months ago... we should be stocking up on thick winter wear. I saw someplace where they were saying that the last ice age occurred came about in a manner of months, not hundreds of years. Could it happen again? I guess we'll see.
