Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 2:30 a.m. in "The City."

The NWS was/is right, the snow arrived here in GH around 3:00 p.m. yesterday and at times, it was snowing so briskly that I actually looked out the window in the living room and thought it was foggy. Not that much snow has fallen, but it is hiding the ugly side of winter. Soon, the city plows will be by to bury the driveway and the sidewalks in front of the manse. Not my problem though, as I have nowhere to go and all day to get there.

I was sitting around yesterday afternoon and watching John do his thing. As I noted yesterday, it is a lot easier to watch someone do the work than it is to do it yourself. At any rate, he finished repainting and rehanging the lights on the garage and a few of those sundry things that needed doing. He still has more to do, but those will await the springtime of the year when the windows can be open and the fresh air can get in.

Mary made it to the store yesterday, while I availed myself of that big online etailer to order the bulbs for our ceiling fan in the media room. The local big-box home center has none in the store and none available on their website. I guess their Asian supplier is totally out of stock.

Today, I may still get into the kitchen and make those veggie balls and sausages I had planned to make yesterday. I am in no rush and so I may just make do with some other indoor chores. Plus, I have another edition of the Grand Haven Tribune to peruse and to work the crossword puzzle.

We did make it to the chiropractor yesterday afternoon and then made a short stop at JWs for libations and a snack. Sadly for the fur-children, we were unable to walk with them due to the icy and cold conditions that wreak havoc on their paws. Today is probably going to be the same.

We have a current temperature of 14° with light snow falling. If the NWS is correct, we won't see a great deal of accumulation, but it will be cold. Since it is February 2, Punxatawney Phil will be all over the news. Will he see his shadow or not? Will it make any difference?

The sun will rise today @ 7:57 a.m. and set later in the day @ 5:59 p.m. Ciao.

Just a reminder, the pitchers, and catchers will be reporting in just 11 days.
