Many thanks to everyone who saw the weather reports and asked how we fared. Although some areas of the state got over a foot, we happened to luck out. The storm started out as light rain, then turned to falling slush and then to heavy snow. What first landed either melted quickly or compressed itself into 'heart attack' snow. The good news is that there isn't much we have to shovel save for maybe the stairs and a speck of porch. When the last flake fell, we had about 6 inches piled up.

The winds turned nasty in the night and rattled the loose Tyvec ends from our interrupted residing project. The loud rattle and hammering flap of the house wrap came in rounds, always just about the time I started to fall back asleep. It might have been augmented by sheets of snow sliding off the curved tin roof because I would awaken to what sounded like someone pushing a refrigerator across the roof overhead. I finally got up and sat in the company of the two cats and two candles (our non-generator time lighting) until sleep promised to return. The cats are always game for a nocturnal social event.

It seems ironic that in some regions well to the north and east, people are still golfing and lamenting the likelihood of a green Christmas. Maybe this snow will find its way north before the holidays.
