Two Inches of Beautiful White Global Warming Blanketing Belmont, Massachusetts

Got up at 3:30 to shovel snow off the sidewalks and driveway.

Wow! Talk about a beautiful morning. The global warming is still coming down, I suppose, about a half-inch per hour. It is extremely wet and very heavy. On the streets, which have been cleared, it is turning to liquid along the edges -- so no "black ice." At least not in this area. And unless it gets colder again as the day goes on, I'm sure most of this will melt off later today.

There's a law in Massachusetts that will put you in prison if  someone slips on your sidewalk that has not been shoveled, so that's why we and the rest of Belmont were up at 3:30 to shovel snow. Not.

I was the only one up and shoveling, until Miss Daisey came down to help. It had nothing to do with any Massachusetts law. Neither of us really thought of this as drudgery -- it really was a beautiful morning. So, now to check a few things and then go back to bed. Maybe some photos in the a.m. when there's a bit more light.
