3:00 snapshot #681

Yesterday we were sent home early from work. I got home at 2, took this shot at 3, when I had about 10 feet further to shovel. The snow was soaked and heavy, and people had already flattened a lot of it down to ice with their footsteps. I will not miss shoveling the sidewalk.


Earlier, Alex' sister Jessica came to visit. She lives in L.A., so she was a little cold after a 2 mile walk in the 25 degree weather.

In moving news, the impasse appears to be over, and by next weekend we should be living in our new house. Yay. (I have a cold and have had two purely medicinal Dogfish Head beers, so my enthusiasm is muted.)

You won't have to shovel when you own a house? Gee, I wish someone had told me! Those rotten Town dictators, saying we have to shovel the walkways within 8 hours of a storm or face fines.

New house has no sidewalk. We'll still have to dig a path, and dig out our cars, but no more "half a city block of sidewalk."

yup, no sidewalk, no gutters, and no hedges!!

I'm jealous! We live on a corner lot, and have a double lot, so we* have to snowblow/shovel THREE house worths' of distance.

I'll keep fingers crossed you don't have to move during inclement weather!

yeah, we currently live on a corner lot and it sucks, so i feel your pain.

we don't HAVE to move any time, so many first world problems. :)

Congrats on the house. I'm in the same boat as Roaming: a corner lot means lots of shoveling.
