It’s snowing. We are on the northern fringe of the superstorm that is hitting NYC, Philadelphia and Washington DC. It’s our first snow of the winter, and it’s kind of pretty, even though I’m happier not to have to deal with it.
I filled up the gas can for the snow blower, and then went out and made sure it started. It took a few tries, but it started up! Yay! For the last two winters I have recruited my BFF’s husband to get it running. I texted her and told her to tell him he won’t have to come get me out of trouble, lol.
I’m cleaning the house like I do every Saturday, but today ex tra care because of my book club meeting on Tuesday night. If the snow stops by morning, and if there hasn’t been a blizzard, I won’t be able to do it tomorrow, because I have some plans with a friend. So…today is the day. I haven’t yet figured out when I’m going to make the soup, I’m thinking overnight Monday night in the crock pot. We’ll see….
I went to the grocery store this morning, early…I was there by 8:30. It was so mobbed…..Yikes! But I knew it would be. The whole town seemed to be there, the lines at every register were 4 or 5 people deep. There’s one register in the front, that is a self checkout, but it’s away from the other registers and no one ever uses it, but me, lol. I always do. Walk right past the lines and walk up to it and check myself out! When I got done there were 5 people behind me, lol. But I got out of there quickly!
Now, I’m ready, winter. Bring it on. Snow blower works, I have lots of food. Some places farther south near the coast may lose their power, because the wind is blowing around 40-50 knots sustained down there, but I think we’ll be ok here. My neighborhood power lines are underground, so we only lose them if the main road does. And if it does, they get it back up pretty quickly, because so much feeds off of it.
The video at the top is one I took out my back door when the snow started. The snow is way heavier now and sideways in the wind. Oh well, winter is about half over.
Enjoy your weekend.

I rarely follow blogs. I barely have time to write my own. But I noticed you had liked something I had written months ago and on a whim checked out your blog. And fell in love. Spent the last half hour reading. Am following you now. (in a non-creepy-stakkery type of way, of course) Love and light. xo
Wow! Thank you and I’m honored! Very happy to have you! I followed you on FB too, before I ever had this blog. I’m on FB rarely these days. Hope all is well with you.
Ahhh, love the snow – wrap up warm and enjoy! x
Doing housework! Lol. But it’s so quiet. Saw a plow out on my street but that’s it. I guess snow has its moments. 😊 but glad we are not in the 2 ft deep area.
Several inches out my window. I am mesmerized by the beauty and pureness of snow. I have already had my snow cream and it was delicious. I haven’t had it since I was a little girl. So what if it’s full of radiation and pollution? Stay warm and enjoy its beauty!
It is pretty when I don’t have to get to work and back in it. Just so glad to be on the lighter edge of it!
I’ll bet! I’m on the lighter edge of it and we still had about 8″…but if you don’t have to go anywhere…it’s great!
Glad you got some groceries and can stay indoors for a bit ! Winter can be a bit cruel sometimes..
