It's getting pretty windy out there, very strong gusts. The snow is coming down faster than I can keep up with on the deck.

Tomorrow's gonna be a big snow clean up day. I don't know how much we will end up with, but even if it stopped right now, it would be more than enough!

Hopefully, I won't lose electricity! But it's getting late enough that even if it did go out tonight, I could sleep through it, mostly....

Hope all of you in the grip of this storm are doing well, and that you had plenty of time to prepare.

I'll check in when I can!

This is the back deck that goes off the second story. Sorry I can't get the pic bigger. I've tried!
