Update. Surprise! The morning's mild mannered ice storm morphed into quite the explosive snow storm, mid afternoon. By the time I got home, there was almost a foot on the ground. Okay, nothing like the insane amounts upstate, but plenty deep enough to sock us all in. There were trucks and generous truckers who helped dig us out at the train station but our driveways were a whole 'nother story. Last year a neighbor plowed my drive for the price of a few bottles of wine but he didn't do it today and just finished doing one of my neighbor's but not my sidewalk for some reason. I got into my driveway thanks to a passing generous trucker who took pity on the goofy lady shoveling in her raincoat. Still had to shovel from the driveway to my house, and clear off my porch and steps, so my forearms hurt, but it's a good hurt when there's something to show for it. Right. Anyway, I guess I'll be doing a whole lotta shoveling on Saturday.

I have to say that the ice storm today is interesting. A huge snow storm is what we've become accustomed to, now and then. This is much less expected. Sure am glad I have my standard gear car today!!

Wow. I remember that, years ago, when I lived in New Jersey. I'm glad it never snows here, just floods. But even they are relatively easy, since we live in the hills. Good luck with the shoveling and driving.
