Day 7 - 8 -- Frozen World Descends

A winter storm was to drop 6-8 inches of snow today and by early evening instead of tapering off, far more snow was predicted than had already fallen-- another 16-24 inches! Winds are to pick up overnight and blow the light, dry snow into drifts. I did shovel much of what was down in early evening, before the next deluge appeared. My theory is that if I moved what was already down, there would be less tomorrow to move even with drifting. It often has worked like this in the past. At least I know I should be able to open the front door tomorrow with less accumulation on the porch.

Much of town was closed today. The university emergency system called at 6 am to say campus was closed for the day and will open at 6 am tomorrow. I spent the day working on office writing, presentation preparation, and a phone meeting. It was a quiet indoor kind of day.

The song choice comes from the desire to be somewhere warmer without the frozen precipitation. The term for Canadians that winter elsewhere came from the song title. It was a major early hit for the singer from Nova Scotia. Enjoy!
