Jan. 25th, 2026 09:25 amWoke this morning to snow on the ground, and still falling. Around 8:45, put my breakfast on to simmer and went out to shovel. There was about 3" of fine, powdery snow on the ground, easy to shovel, so I did the front steps, the walk to the sidewalk, and our sections of front and back sidewalks, then came inside to eat.
Steel-cut oats, with a dribble of maple syrup in the cooking water, "allayed up with yolkes of eyroun", and a nice red grapefruit half. Yum.
Update, 1:00 PM: there was another 6" of fine, powdery snow everywhere I had shoveled before. Shoveled again.
Update, 2:15 PM: it's no longer snowing, but raining and/or sleeting. Yuck.
Update 5 PM: shoveled another 4-5" of heavier, wetter snow.
Update midnight: there's another two inches or so on the ground; haven't shoveled it yet except for a path from the back door to the back sidewalk, which I hadn't shoveled at all yet. This was annoying because I was sleepy, because I was shoveling the full depth all at once, and because of the slight crust on top.
