January ended with a record snow for the date. Between Thursday afternoon and Friday morning we got almost 8 inches of fluffy white stuff. It didn't cling picturesquely to trees and branches, for which we were thankful. We wanted the power to stay on, and it did.
Norm had tried to keep up with the snow as it fell on Thursday, but it piled up anyway, and drifted with the wind. So he and our neighbor attacked the driveway on Friday morning. I watched from the window upstairs.
The snow also coated the frame of our porch furniture as it drifted on to the porch.
Inside the upstairs sewing room, a geranium left from last summer blooms bravely as the rubber tree unfurls yet another leaf. We have had about the "normal" amount of snow for this winter, which means more than we have had for several years. And the groundhog saw his shadow on Feb. 2, a day after this scene, so winter is supposed to linger for a while.
