Good morning GH.  It actually is morning, and I am at the ready for more blogging.  Except, I have some aches and pains from snow removal.  Yes, I have pictures, both pre and post removal.  I also found that my not so permanent repair to the snow blower failed.  Oh well. it does have a four year warranty, and it is just over one year old.  I'll call them on Monday and get what I need.

Currently the temperature on the desktop is 26 degrees heading towards a high of 29.  We are still anticipating a high on Tuesday of 52 degrees, with rain, but like all things, that is subject to change.  Since it is in the upper 20s today, the salt I had spread on the back deck previously is still working, and the deck outside the door is clean and clear.  I'll caption the pictures accordingly.

Today is the day for the cardboard sled race at Mulligan's Hollow, but we aren't there.  As I and Mary get older, we tend to leave those things for the younger crowd.  Our neighbor has promised that his wife takes a full video record of the events, so we will see the video at a later date.  As predicted, we didn't make it to the Post last night, there was just too much snow for walking or driving.  Fortunately, the band that we had planned to see also appears during the summer, so no problem.

Otherwise, we did see UP with Chris Hayes this AM on MSNBC.  Discussions ranged from concussions, to climate change, to prosecutorial overreach.  Of course, UP was accompanied by...Tea time and breakfast.  Mary had oatmeal with blueberries and bade me to try it.  I did, and I still don't like oatmeal.  I did enjoy my mixed cereals (Rice Krispies and Cheerios) with apple though.  So, too much strain for the day, so now it is time to kick back. Ciao.

The Driveway and deck before being cleared.

As you can see, we have plenty of snow to share.

Our front porch and sidewalk, before I cleared them.  In the background, the end of the driveway post city plowing.

Just another view.

The back deck

From the street, uncleared and unsafe.  Out letter carrier thanks me.

Much better now that it is cleared of snow.

Probably four inches of the white stuff fell last night.

This was our shared driveway before I cleared it.

Although I appreciate their efforts, the city always leaves me with something to do at the end of our shared driveway.

I couldn't resist, our municipal power plant in the background, and one of our municipal parking lots across from Public Safety in the foreground.
