What do you call post like this?

 Okay, first let me set the scene...

Last night around 4 pm...

Yes, that was the beginning of what ended the last time I measured it as 7.5 inches of snow.  First time we got a 1-day snow over 3 inches in over a thousand days.  And as we hunkered down to collect news on the storm...

That got posted about 2 hours after I took the pictures.  Note the Fort Wayne total... I replied to this, "Did you take the Fort Wayne reading INDOORS?"

This morning, the snow has stopped, but it is 27 F (around -3C) and the wind is HOWLING.  Let me put it this way.  Misty and I sleep upstairs.  The downstairs gets drafty in the wind, and the furnace runs more.  On weekends I sleep with Christian talk radio on.  About 4 AM it was getting too hot upstairs, so I closed the furnace grate and cracked the window.  Within moments, I had to turn up the radio so I could hear it over the wind.  Needless to say, Laurie called in today.  Our neighbor apparently didn't have that option, since when I took Misty out at 8, there was a path carved from our doors to the parking lot.  Misty made an extra effort to get everything done, and has had no interest in venturing out again.  I have a vacay day tomorrow (I hd an eye appointment late morning), so I have no interest in clearing anything till later today at the earliest.

I do have some pictures from when it was nicer out... a week ago Saturdaay...

We'd just had a bunch of rain, so the north end of the bridge was all mossy

You say, "Well, that was a week ago.  What have you done for fun since?"  That's an easy answer...

...Bobs Bar was open!

Sadly, I was the only "customer".  KC had a sick child on his hands.  Grayson gets a severe case of Impetago- apparently there is a strain that is the same bacteria that causes MRSA, and only one med will knock it out.

And that, friends, is how Thanksgiving weekend went.  Hope you had a good one!
