Beaver:

Planned power outage 7 am to noon today. Woke to CO monitor beeping. Unplugged it and went back to bed for a while. Made toast on wood stove and warmed water to add to left over Green tea. Looked at forecasts and wondered WHEN the snow would start. Finally decided I really need to go see friends but by the low route. Had a good visit with the mother , then the son came down from the cottage and the 3 of us had a visit with - gasp! hugs as I was leaving. Five minutes after I left the snow started gently wafting down.

Lunch and reading and trying to get myself to DO something - to no avail but I did think about it! Neighbour Larry stopped for a visit, informs we are getting 4-6 inches. Yep. I cleared an inch or two from back deck and now there is another 3-4 inches. Maybe I'll clear that before bed. Easier to do in smaller quantities.

That was a smart move! Lotta snow! Beautiful light fluffy stuff but heavy anyway.
