Inch by inch
Snowfall total here at Toad Woods at 1am Wednesday: 20"
I thought I was going to top out at 18", then 19". Even at 20", that's still 10 fewer than friends in Framingham were clobbered with, but I can't say I got off easy. Just a bit easier than I might have....
Electricity hasn't flickered. (Knocking wood, and All That Jazz....) Ditto both for internet connectivity.
Primary shoveling is done except for the last 2 inches. Plow Guy has been by twice to clear the drive; it's in good shape. I still need to shovel out the path to the oil tank refill cap at the back of the house, and probably shovel plow chunks and other snow piled up around my mailbox. I didn't make it up the drive today to see, but it's a safe bet with this much snow.
My back deck, Tuesday afternoon. Window crayon art by tnh, fredcritter, Gavi, and me.
Ditto that about the deck. Window crayon art by minnehaha K.
Whip until soft peaks form. Do not overwhip.
Pictures from February 2011 in my Toad Woods snapshot album (see pages 2 & 3) certainly help put Tuesday's storm into perspective.
Onward!
