Snow. Hee!

We are at the beginning of what is likely to be a record-breaking snowfall.  They are predicting anywhere between 18-36 inches, with blizzard-like winds tonight and tomorrow.


Here's the grounds at Chez Nous at about 11:00 this morning, about 30 minutes or so after the snow started.  We had snow last weekend and more snow Tuesday night, so there are a few inches already on the ground.


And the deck......



And the dog potty.....


And here's the deck at about 1:00 this afternoon:





And the yard (see how it's just starting to stick to the plants)......



And here's the yard at about 4:00:



It's coming down in earnest now, but we don't care.   The cupboard is stocked, the firewood is stacked, there are fresh sheets on the bed and fresh towels on the rack, our new furnace works, our three-year-old roof is unlikely to collapse,  and the Merseyside Derby is being broadcast in lovely HD tomorrow morning.


And La Viola play the Romanistas.


And so many Bianconeri are broken, new coach DeadToMe has no choice but to start ADP, who has two league goals and two Coppa goals after not playing until January.  And Gio will be there too, and he's the only defender on the squadra who cannot be blamed for any of the recent fail.



And since I have to eat more protein and less starch, I have decided to make meatballs, which I can only be arsed to do about twice a year.  Usually I prefer
 Spaghetti and meatballs,
but now I'll be having
 spaghetti and Meatballs.

And I'm going to sack up and give Taleggio a try and snuggle up with beagles and yarn.  The Man will be too busy shoveling paths to the dog potty and becoming one with the Merseyside Darby to engage in any snuggling.

Snow is quiet, snow is peaceful, snow is calming, snow is slippery, snow is heavy, snow is dangerous, snow raises testosterone levels of mmorons in SUV's, snow brings out publicity whores, snow causes beer shortages, snow brings out the chronic complainers who have forgotten how to walk, snow makes me wonder how people survived these things 100 years ago. particularly the year without a summer in the early 1800's,
