Snow Deposit, Snow Return

Light snow fell starting sometime after 10 PM last night. When I got up this morning, there was 1-2 cm accumulation on the front porch rail, which is where I usually measure.
I cleared the porch when I got a break from Day Jobbe after my regular morning meetings with my fellow team members, but snow continued to fall throughout the morning, sometimes heavily. This is what it looked like a couple of hours after my first clearance.
As the snow began to slacken off in the early afternoon (although you can still see it falling in this photo), I made another pass to try and keep the porch and sidewalk passable.
Total accumulation for the last 24 hours amounts to 8-10 cm. There's one more round of snow forecast for Wednesday, after which things should be clear for a few days. Temperatures are supposed to stay mostly below freezing, however, so it's unclear how much of this snow will melt on its own. I expect to have more snow to shovel tomorrow because I did not clear the entire sidewalk today, only the section connecting the front porch to the trailer and garage. The exercise is good for me.
