Well, the week is ending with an expectation for a major snowfall event or events. There appears to be a break in the action late Saturday but things ramp up again by Sunday. By 'ramp up' it appears that things will be even worse the second time around with major winds pushing this into a blizzard category. Overall confidence in the amount of snowfall is strong, the where exactly this will happen has a lower confidence level. So, when things stop after three to four days of snow, there will be about 40 to 70 cm (16 to 30 in) -- totally scary numbers. This evening I brushed snow from the car. The forecast had been for 5 cm (2 in). The car held 15-20 cm (6-8 in). Oddly fences had about 10 cm (4 in). Serial shoveling is in my future, just to keep a pathway nearly open. Snow removal will happen twice over the next few days. Driveways will be opened as the street plows pass through, but the rest of the snow in the driveway will be moved Saturday and Monday -- as the current plan goes.
A friend and I went to a Gordon Lightfoot tribute concert this evening. It was a fund-raiser for the local community theatre. I enjoyed hearing the wonderful local talent as singers and musicians. They presented many great songs -- hits and deep cuts. One song fit the day and evening as the snow fell softly with no wind. Visibility wasn't obscured greatly as I watch out my windows today and this evening. Keep safe. Enjoy!
