The snow has started.

Week 1/52, originally uploaded by gina64.

We're having one of those winters this year, with a new storm blowing through just about every three days. Wednesday's storm brought sleet and ice, but today's should leave behind 6-10" of snow. Shoveling is a drag, but I'd much rather deal with (and drive in) a foot of snow than an inch of ice.

We're hunkered down now, but this morning I went out to see if I could find some ice melt, since we had used what we had during Wednesday's storm. Yeah, me and the rest of the world were looking for ice melt. After checking 4 stores and coming up empty, I gave up and headed home.

This is a picture I took of Mickey on the couch earlier today, all snuggly and warm.
