The Big Snow (Take 3)

It has been snowing for the past 24 hours and still going strong. We reportedly had gusts up to 30 mph, and thankfully it has finally died out. It's hard to tell how much accumulation we have because of the drifting. I walked out to a relatively sheltered area, and there was every bit of 12 inches of new snow there.

JP plowed out the upper part of the driveway this morning, where there was about 2 feet of drifted snow. By noon, it was drifted full again. I shovelled a foot of snow off the concrete in front of the house this morning, and 18 inches off this evening. There was even 6 inches of snow on the porches (the ones that are covered). That gives you an idea how much our 12" is drifting.

JP reported that he saw several people today with pathological anxiety that the power will go out again. I am trying not to think about that possibility, but I cleaned house this afternoon, and went grocery shopping yesterday, so we should be set...just in case.

My friend gave me a recipe for Naan using my sour dough starter, so I tried it out tonight. It turned out well, although the texture was not as tender as that served in the Indian restaurants. It is worth tweaking to make it better, and relatively easy!
