Another Weather Report

[poliphilo]

There's a steady drip outside my window. I just shovelled the snow from our front path- and it came up- surprisingly easily-  in big icy slabs. There's was a snow fall yesterday- but we were on the edge of it and only got a sprinkling.  Cars are moving down the worn channel in the centre of our road with confidence. Today is refuse collection day, but it looks as if the binmen aren't risking it- again.

As long as the garbage remains frozen it will not be a problem. Here's hoping the binmen get back on the job before a serious thaw!
Local experience here in Boston is that the aftermath of a big storm is much worse than the storm itself. Cleanups, fixups, etc., are time consuming, energy-eating, and costly.
The general consensus on this side of the Atlantic (well, here in Boston anyway) was that of deep concern for our British neighbors, who are not as accustomed to this extreme weather as we are. However, we have been admiring the way you all have been dealing with it. We lack so much patience.

Since I posted there's been a bin-van round to collect the food waste- so that's something- in fact the main thing. The general, non-perishable waste can wait.
