Lent Means Soup

 First Wednesday of the season - I did not make soup this week, others did. A really good coconut/lime rice soup.

We then had a Ted Talk and a discussion afterwards. A nice time, Ill cook next week

It's been a while : WHITE DOG IN SNOW

Moving around was so much easier today post a lot of plowing, our mystery sidewalk guy is the best.

WE GOT OUT !

We finally got our driveway plowed around lunch time today. It just changed my whole world view  - I did not want to go anywhere during the storm yesterday, but the fact that I could not even if I wanted to must made me filled all closed in and claustrophobic . 

Started out day at another hospital here in town, the BIG teaching one that is an entire campus , Neil is in a post prostate surgery case study. Made me very happy that our daily hospital is the small boutique one - which we went to right after this.

Hit Wegmans in the snow

Snow in Pittsford.

MONSTER

The snow started earlier than the weather folk said it would.The coming storm had been talked about for days and last night it was finally here. It was snowing pretty hard when Koda and I went for our last walk of the day, but I went to bed thinking that it could not really get as nasty as they said it might. the winter so far had been a non event. And besides they never get it exactly right,,,

And they did not this time either, it was much worse. The sound of our next door neighbor's driveway being plowed woke us up, and we just stayed in bed watching the beautiful snow fall - until I came down stairs and found that we could not get out of the house! At least with out me shoveling off the steps...

It snowed all day, we had plans to see an early movie with a friend, but canceled, turns out everything was closed anyway.

The hospital even called and said that they could not even get in. People were foolish this morning and all headed out, I guess before things , work, stores were closed. All of Rochester came to a stand still , every major express way was shut down, wrecks everywhere. We can handle winter weather here for sure, but not this much , this fast - and not having any practice so far this season.

Record snow for this date, and a .10 of an inch off the all time February record... a  lot of snow!

Kept going all morning and after noon, the nice man that plows the side walks could not keep up.

MONSTER III

Around 4 or so it finally came to an end - a full 16 inches everywhere , more in spots for us. Some places got even more. My pal about a 30 - 40 min away had rain all morning, we were the bullseye.

And the guy who was supposed to take care of our driveway never showed up, but someone else will be here in the morning. This was not an event that could be taken care of with a shovel!

So, winter all at once this year. Should be above freezing by the weekend and hopefully a lot will be gone.
