Ugh, Snow

We still haven't had any snow, to speak of, in Millinocket but we're up north for a couple of days, and there is snow here. Not a lot, though. We did have a dusting of snow one morning in Millinocket but all I had to do was turn away for a little bit and it all went away.

 

The last two dire snow storm warnings we've received have amounted to little or nothing. So far, the only snow we've had that needed to be shoveled occurred while we were in Virginia, and my neighbor took care of that. We were supposed to have up to eight inches of snow last night, and we did get some, but not nearly that much. I'm waiting for someone to plow our driveway for us but was able to drive the car out of it without shoveling around it, so we got probably a couple of inches. Our house blocks most of the snow, so we don't get any drifting. Often, the worst problem we have is what the town leaves for us at the end of our driveway. We're supposed to have more on Christmas, but I wish they'd quit exaggerating every storm warning so that I can know what to actually prepare for. Usually, we get about a quarter or less what they say we're going to get.

 

We're getting hit with a large snowstorm today. I woke up to find about four inches on my balcony, and it's still snowing heavily.

 

Yes, but then it should melt.

 

Not counting Canada (because, after all, who would count Canada), it looks like I win. The only upside to these temperatures is that it doesn't snow when it's this cold.
