Blizzard 2013

I guess they're safe in calling it this since the last one we had was in 2009.

We're one of the lucky ones - almost 1/2 million people without power - mostly in the SE part of the state - our 50mph wind gusts last night were no match for their 70+ ones. It's still snowing a little, and probably will for awhile, based on the weather widget showing snow still out to the Worcester area and beyond. I love it - though with the above-freezing temps forecast for next week (and rain on Monday - blech) it'll get really messy really soon. :|

I inadvertently slept an extra hour this AM (awoke slightly before the alarm, turned it off and the next thing you know . . . ) and haven't ventured outside yet. Auto travel ban remains in effect & the MBTA will remain closed all day and maybe into tomorrow. I hear someone out there with their snow blower. Fingers crossed the guy across the street with one will bless us and come over & do our sidewalk. Maybe if we go out & look like we're struggling?

Yesterday seemed to be a good one for scented candles. So I lit mine. Do you have any recommendations for what to do with the wax around the edge once the wick has burned away? Seems a shame to throw it out.

Here's a mini-timeline of the storm. I guess we might have gotten about 2 feet.

Off now for lunch & a tootle or two.
