And it doesn't show signs of stopping....


  I have not had work since they sent us home at noon on Friday and as I look out my window now, tiny snowflakes continue to skeeter past in the wind, creating a total white-out.  They look more like snow specks– as though a white-haired giant is getting a shave somewhere above us and the clippings are falling all around– and it’s hard to imagine that such tiny flakes could amount to much.  But one glance outside confirms it.  Every hard line has been obliterated.  Cars are nothing but larger mounds of snow lining the mounds that cover the streets.  Walkways that we carefully shovelled and salted yesterday are once again hidden under 10 or more inches.  There has been very little melting of the 30 inches we got over the weekend, so you can imagine what another 10 inches looks like on top of that. 

Many of the row-homes on the Hill have flat roofs and there have been reports of people’s ceilings caving in, so yesterday Tim got up on ours and shoveled it off.  I followed to photograph.  (Currently he’s making hay while the blizzard grows by shovelling other Hill roofs).

These pictures are from yesterday when the sun was shining and the snowing had stopped for a while. (you can view the whole photo by clicking on it)
