Love waking up at 730 on a weekend when my alarm is set for 930!

@jeridansky

I mean, when you're little, it doesn't matter, it just magically happens!

I remember my Mom shoveling snow because of this absolutely garish green camo-ish jacket with orange bits all over it that she would wear. (It still hangs in the coat closet, LOL.)

I'm sure my Dad did it when he wasn't deployed, but I also have zero memory of that.

Here is the pattern on the coat - you can see why it is seared into my memory. And retinas.

@cafechatnoir Oof! Memorable, and not in a good way.

It's very hard to explain to a cat, "I have to put the big jacket on and go out in the cold and move white stuff from here to there, and it's important that it gets done."

Zero sympathy from him for the dog walkers in the neighborhood.

I took a nap, woke up and looked out and all my outside work is gone.

Seems the sleet started up again and dumped another inch or so.

It's little bro's turn.

All the earlier work was not in vain at least - you'd need a flamethrower if you'd let it go all day.

@cafechatnoir I'm glad you have a brother to share shoveling duties with.

And Sean has been fussing at me all morning.

GIRL. It is the WEEKEND. You are supposed to be on the couch with ME.

He is happy I'm done.

So, all told I'd say we got about 5 inches of snow and another 3ish inches of sleet/snow mix. (The freezing rain I though was supposed to be for the rest of the day apparently switched back to sleet/snow as soon as I went back inside, LOL.)

Been watching the power outage map, and there have only been 2 small outages within a few miles of here and they're already resolved. My brother VERY SMARTLY pointed out that our power has held thanks to the umpteen power banks I charged up.
