Snow was in the forecast for today. When I left Idaho Falls in my van pool it had started to snow, lightly. Moderate snow was falling when I got to my car in the commuter parking lot at the Pine Ridge mall. It was fairly light and quite fluffy … and blew off the car as I started to drive.

We had more snow at the house, but by about 7:30 the snow was finished, the clouds were moving out, and the moon was out (a fairly new moon). That meant it was time to suit up and go run the snowblower. It takes about ten minutes to get suited up and about 45 minutes to run the machine on the driveway and the walks and then finish up with the shovel on the front walk and steps. The Weather Service says there’s still a chance of snow tonight, diminishing overnight. Then it turns downright cold. That last is the reason for blowing the snow tonight. There’s very little wind and it’s 27º outside versus a high of 21º in the afternoon tomorrow. I’ll take the warmer weather. Now for a shower and a (hopefully) good night’s sleep!

Ta ta for now!
