You call that snow?

Our 5-6 inches devolved into a giant pile of slush when it ended in mixed rain and sleet. Roy shoveled that mess off our sidewalks in a fast hurry and laid down more salt. Act II is supposed to be the potentially wallopping Nor'easter. Everything in Philadelphia is cancelled -- even the Union League is closed, except for the bar/cafe on limited hours.

I'm keeping the thermostat down (we've lowered our heating bills by about 35% this year) and keeping warm by thinking about the Flower Show. Oh, and working on my Day Job, of course...

I was thinking of you last night. When IS the Flower Show? My friend Kristin says she's going...

That's what happened to us on Christmas night. Instead of 21 inches of snow, we got rain and a really eerie thaw where the temperature just hovered at 36 degrees well into the evening. Then everything froze solid at about four in the morning, before the plows went by. The path I shovelled through the plow ridge has a bend in it where I couldn't get past the huge block of ice in front of the sidewalk and had to go around.

We're snowing now -- a record breaker. I just did a new post, complete with link to my Flower Show blog.
