I feel bad for the kids. The schools actually gave them a snow day and no remote learning at all. I hope they don't get their hopes up and get disappointed.

I could maybe make a snowman but you'd need a microscope to see it.

And it looks like my little circle of sunshine aka clear sky is going to start closing around 8 o'clock. So maybe NaNa and I can get some snow pictures tomorrow. I've got her wardrobe prepared.

She's the funniest thing when it comes to her outfits. She jumps into them. Usually, with less than accurate precision. But she knows the difference between a sweater and a dress and pj's. And we're working on some sign language now.

She loves her denim jacket that Santa brought her.

My heart. ❤️

About 6 inches of snow, still snowing. 10 degrees with a brisk breeze. No snowplow up here yet, I’m thinking he might be busy.

Put a five pound black dog into to snap a picture. Not enough for a snow plow, that's for sure. 😃

Life is a series of Zoom 2,5, and 12 steps, online doesn't work the way it used to, the meatballs - some of the finest heat 'n serve you can buy - taste like cardboard, big tech plagues me, and every time I type internet it comes out like internment. Other than that, I'm fine, thanks for asking.

are getting along fairly well despite the cold and ice, which has just about disappeared, leaving only the cold air in its wake.
BTW, I'm the only biped in the house. Four cats and a dog.
