Has been cold for the last week or so..... warmed up (18degrees) and got 12
inches of snow.  I think it is done, as long as the wind doesn't shift and
that lake effect hits us, which is 15 miles due east of me right now.  Back
down to 3 temp.
 
Unforunately, had to take mom to the hospital for surgery during all of
this..... kept thinking this isn't a good time to ditch the van, but God was
watching over us and we got there and back without incident.

Cold, got 4" snow, with some blowing and drifting, but no problem getting out
and about. Spent some time perusing seed/plant catalogs and marking pages. The
next step is making lists that include prices. After that, cold reality sets
in, and thinning begins!
