Snow and Rain (But No Ice This Time)

When I wake up early enough, I try to take a walk around the block before starting work from home. This morning, I'm glad I got the walk in before the snow started again. We had several hours of "wintry mix" before the temperature soared to a balmy +5°C and melted all of the new snowfall and much of the exposed areas as well. After lunch, I took advantage of the slightly warmer weather to shovel the rest of the walkway out to the main woodpile (which is down to less than 1 cord, I'm afraid), getting rid of the hard-packed snow that had turned to ice. Otherwise, I simply did my job, while being glad I don't have to be out driving in the snow and ice.
