You can feel the coming snow in the air. Later tonight as I’m shoveling, I’ll be feeling it for real. Been a long time since I’ve had that youthful feeling in snow. If it’s deep enough, I’ll go for making a snow angel. The snowboard of my sons and the disk will stay in the shed.

Actually, I’m looking forward to being out in it early this morning. I love starting the day anywhere from 2-4 am. This seems to be the sweet spot my body and mind like to start. It isn’t the same cycle other family or friends are on but I’ve been marching to others schedules for decades and now I can make my own.

But it will be good timing for the snow. If it starts around 10 about half of it will be down by 3 or 4am and I’ll be out with the shovel. I’ll probably be helping an elderly neighbor or two later in the day so at least I’ll have mine done early and some time to rest and catch my breath.

I saw these geese coming in for a landing to join their friends already on the pond. The clouds are rolling in and soon all air traffic will take a pause as the storm goes by.
