Snow day

Well, there’s not a hell of a lot of snow out there, but schools have been closed, so spouse gets to spend another day bonding with her precious daughters. I can’t get any kind of a consistent prediction out of the weather sources — there’s only a couple of inches out there, despite steady snow since 10 p.m. We were supposed to get 10-12. So the question is, do I go out and snowblow the driveway now, because it’s nearly over, or do I let spouse do it later during her bonding exercise? Because right now it’s hardly worth it.

Of course, there’s at least 6 inches of new snow at Mount Snow. I’m hoping it just keeps building during the week like it’s supposed to, because I just can’t skip out and hit the slopes. Darned responsibility!

Speaking of snow, the pool at the Y has been broken for a couple of weeks now, and the temperature has slowly descended to what can no longer be considered tepid — 76 degrees. It could be worse, but that was a little brisk last night. It was all right as long as one kept swimming, but if it gets any lower, we’re gonna need our skates. On the up side, there was no one there, so I got to freeze in a lane all by myself.
