White and Not Quiet
The good news is that all is well here on Stauffer Avenue. 35 mph winds did shake some branches down in the backyard. The winds kept everything white with blowing snow, it was hard to tell just how much snow we received. The howling wind was so consistent over night, it was a lulling effect. Our Emergency Management sent out phone calls that all Watonwan County roads were closed until further notice.
Later on this afternoon, the sun came out. The sunshine on the swirling snow made it look magical . . . crystals flying in the air. It was time to get suited up and clean up around some doorways. Nothing magical about five minutes in when the fingers began getting cold. Our driveway is clear, via Randy.
Dennis called from Arizona and there are plans for golfing tomorrow. Dennis is in charge of driving one of the carts. Good deal for Dennis. The sewing studio is closed down and I am looking forward to a hot meatloaf sandwich for supper.
