Ah, I knew this snow came from SOMEWHERE.
What I'm doing today --
aside from suddenly thinking about curried cauliflower thanks to assorted other notes in this thread-- is hoping that "unsecured objects" from elsewhere don't come flying into my domain from the northwest... the beta tests of snowfall by the gods of winter continue unabated at the moment, with the added fillip of a wind advisory.
Hereabouts above 1500' altitude in the Catskills and Poconos ranges, gusts of 50mph are forecast until 7pm. Well that sounds like enough of a lift to put the accumulating white stuff over the stone wall and well up into the meadow before the high ridge south of here blocks further motion... so the rabbits will be out tomorrow looking at my lawns as breakfast material. It's so weird to look ahead then and discover that by Friday we're not only back to Indian Summer but about to break records with 70ºF and higher in the region. To that, even though I love winter, it's a bit early for serious snow so I will welcome a week or so of balmier weather. Sure hope the rabbits will do enough of a job on the grass to preclude my having to shell out for one final mowing, since the guy already came around and mulched the leaves.
Meanwhile the county road crews get to run their own beta tests today of how well they've reassembled plow blades to the sanding trucks. They've been by about three times today already. Fun times abound... hope some of this stuff melts off tomorrow for those having to vote in person.
