We got a blizzard! We got a blizzard!

Okay, it was never at any point of my observance what I would call a "blizzard" (I was always able to see the house across the street), but we did get dumped on. My town got around 24" (with snow drifts up to 32"), and it's all the fluffy stuff!

Whee!

And here are some of the pics.

It took about an hour to shovel out our car and driveway, with Geoff using the shovel and me using our pitiful little snowblower, which did an excellent job on the powder, though. It's a wimpy little thing when it comes to the wet stuff, but the only problem it had with this snowfall was the height. So, Geoff took off the top half of the snow, and I blew the rest away. Often with the wind sending it right back at us.

It was fun. Well, I had fun, anyway. :-)

AND, we didn't lose power, though the lights did flicker a little last night as the wind picked up. I am very glad, yet again, that we don't live on the coast.

Of course, I haven't done a whit of work in the last couple days, and tomorrow will probably be taken up with going to the museum of science, but it's been nice anyway. Even if I will be a bit stressed next week.

*happy sigh*

Happy weekend!

Spider (4 suit):
1st game today: 1:15
2nd game: 0:25

Both games included interruptions (without pausing time), although I restarted first at least twice, so it was probably closer to 1:45 after discounting the distractions.

I think the second game was dead easy, though. I got through all the face down cards before the second round. Total fluke.
