We had our first snowfall today. It actually began falling last night and then continued today until around 1pm. School let the kids have the rest of the week off to have their first Snow Day of the Winter. The snow was a mix between heavy and freezing. When I went out at 8am there were some tough moments but overall that old snowblower still kept churning. I ended up doing 17,000 steps for the day between doing our driveway and sidewalks and my neighbor’s two driveways and sidewalk there was a lot of ground to cover.

The snow sapped everyone’s energy. We played a few more rounds of Rummikub and then hung out and relaxed. I went out one last time before dinner and cleared anything else that had piled up. There wasn’t much but the ends of the driveways where the plows snowed everything in.

Our First Warm Night

Tonight was the first really warm night of the year. We put a fan in Andy’s window. It is a bit too early to haul up the air conditioners but I suspect that before June they will be going into the windows. I may even have to get an additional one for the office seeing as I am working from home for the foreseeable future.

A little after Andy went to sleep he got up complaining that he was to hot. When he learned that Allison was out int he back yard with our friend Colleen he put on his Spider Man pajamas and went downstairs. He went back up and ended up moving himself to the top of the covers with his head at the bottom of the bed so he was getting more fan on himself. But he fell asleep wearing the pajamas.
