Given the severity of the cold so far this year I feel I have been very controlled in my response. I just happened to look at the forecast for just this evening. Here are the various descriptions of the weather on the by hour chart between 7pm and 9am tomorrow morning.

• 7pm Cloudy – 8pm Rain/Snow Showers – Light Freezing Rain – Freezing Rain – Wintery Mix – Freezing Rain – 9am Light rain I’d say the morning commute sounds in jeopardy.

And then I look further and I see snow predicted for 3 of the next 7 days.

I don’t know who keeps the book on whom is eligible for a snowblower but I’ve put in over 6 decades of shovel work and I’m wondering where I am on the list.

I guess I shouldn’t complain, I have enough money for a shovel and a walk and driveway to do it. Always a bright side my mother would remind me. Plus it’s good aerobic exercise if you take it easy.

I’ve got the cover on the car again and just have to go put the wind strap on it. My better half had an appointment so I’m blowing the dust off the speakers while working on my health, this blog, some illustrations and photo editing.

And in the spirit of keeping my daily streak alive, I better schedule a post for tomorrow in case our power is lost this evening.
