Got a fresh 3″ of snow last night making it about 11″ on the ground this morning. It’s not only the snow, but the brutal cold that’s so dangerous. Tomorrow promises to be scary with actual temperatures at zero or below. It only takes minutes to make frostbite on exposed skin. People don’t really realize how quickly that can happen – until they are shown pictures of those who were caught unaware. Not pretty. I’ll tell you, the only time I’m going to be outside is to dash out and sweep off the place where I feed the critters and scatter a new offering in the morning. Did that already today. It’s cold. And I’m not shoveling anymore. Did a bit of that yesterday and even though I keep myself in pretty good shape, I feel it today. I’m done with it.
