We got three or four inches of snow last night. As is typical of early-season snow, this is wet and heavy.
Beth got out of school yesterday for the Thanksgiving break, so I didn’t have to worry about whether school was canceled for her. Jonathan did have school though, so I rolled out of bed around 7:00am to see if his was postponed or canceled. It was postponed, so I went back to bed for a while.
I got up early enough to clear the driveway. I got as far as rolling the snowblower into position and filling its tank with gas. But then I looked at the snow. It wasn’t even three inches on the driveway, so I decided to skip it. Why waste the gas, when I can get through it just fine and it’s supposed to melt in the next couple of days?
We made it to Concord with no mishaps, though I did not travel as fast as the speed limit allowed. That would have been folly.
Tomorrow I plan to do a little cleaning in the basement. The Pathfinders are having a Black Friday yard sale, and I hope to unload a few things there. Once I have some space in the basement, I plan to move stuff out of the attic so I will have room to resume my insulation project up there. Yeah… still not done with that, but it’s only been in the works for seven years…

I’m sure this stuff will mostly be gone by the end of the day tomorrow. At least, I’m hoping it will be. It will be mightily inconvenient if it’s still here when the yard sale starts on Friday.
This is the ideal season for attic work. It’s way too hot up there in the summer, and way too cold in the winter. I have to catch it in between.

That’s pretty stuff! Our snow left: I wondered where it went!

I suppose it still has somewhere else it needs to be, because it won’t stay around here much longer.
