Did I mention that it was still winter?

jennlkYeah, that.
The winter ick held off long enough that I was able to get to rehearsal and back again before it started. Tuesday morning, we had about an inch and a half of snow under a layer of ice almost-but-not-quite thick enough to stand on. I went out between freezing rain showers and shoveled the top part of the driveway. Tuesday evening it got cold and started actually snowing. It's now nearly 2pm Wednesday, and the snowdrift in front of the garage is above my knees and it's still snowing. It's blowing around so much that it's hard to tell how much we've actually gotten, but the snowdrift in front of the garage and the one hiding the stack of deck lumber on the deck tells me that it's been more than the 4" they were predicting. Parts of the driveway are clear of snow.
I am very glad that I shoveled yesterday (although perhaps not as glad as J), but I need to go do it again, at the very least before the birdfeeders have to come in. It should be easier today -- my shoulders are still a bit stiff from yesterday's ice+snow pack. Tomorrow I must run errands.
In thumb "news", yesterday I ironed without the splint on. whee? and folded laundry. It's kind of surprising how much difference a 8" piece of tape makes.
