It doesn't happen often, but we got enough snow today that I don't have to go to work. I usually go even when it snows. Once we get over 6 inches though, I can't even get out of my driveway. My car doesn't have enough clearance to drive in that much snow. The boss can't say anything about it and he'll have to either do it himself or call my companies to let them know the work won't be done.
Here's a pic I took about 2:30pm and the snow continued to build rapidly for the next hour and a half. It started lightly snowing again about 5:30 and continues. My measurements come to an average of 7 inches with 1 more expected.

Probably the same system we had Monday, when my work opened two hours late. At least three co-workers didn't check their texts and showed up anyway. Supposed to melt by Sunday, I think.
That is ideal swimming weather for Ranfordfan though. Looks like a summer day to him!

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Just don't go over the falls in a barrel, Ranford. I know you want to try it. Oh, wrong topic.

With the wind chill, it's 11F (about -15C) right now. After all the cold weather we've had this month, it really doesn't feel that cold to me. I went out before sunset and shoveled off the patio (all the area on the right side of the chair and about halfway to the basketball goal in the pic) just so we wouldn't keep tracking the snow inside, especially the dog. She loves playing in the snow as long as it's on the ground and not falling from the sky.
The snow won't stick around long. Thursday will be slightly above freezing, but upper 40's Friday and into the 50's after that. Now that we got our annual one big snowfall (but bigger than usual), I'm ready for 50+ degree days to come back and stay here! No more snow.
Thanks about the pic ranfan! I thought it turned out great too. Surprisingly, I did it with my cellphone. I rarely get good photos with that thing. I mostly use my expensive real camera that is ONLY a camera/video recorder for shots like that. But I wanted to text a pic to my sister to match the pic she texted me. She lives an hour west of me and they got even more snow (over 10 inches). After I sent her the pic, I copied it to my PC and made it my new wallpaper. Then I loaded it to flickr to share with you guys. It's really weird to be sitting here at my PC at this time in the middle of the week!!!

Billy, I don't know where the hell the animals went today. Other than my dog, I haven't seen a single animal outside today! The squirrels usually stay out of the backyard anyway b/c of Streak (my dog), but I haven't even seen any birds today. Even when I went out front to clean off the satellite dish, there were no birds anywhere. AND there are several birdfeeders in the front yard.
