The weather forecast for today foresaw the first snow for around 5pm today. In fact the precipitations were foreseen to start at 2pm as rain and then gradually go into snow (4-6 inches). We are reasonably well prepared, even if we have no snow blower yet we do have a decent snow shovel, which I bought in October when we had some scary looking strong snow falls. Of course the snow just melted right away. It is now around 8:30pm and no snow yet, even the rain did not really arrive.
I cleaned the last leaves out of the front yard and from the sidewalk, and behind the house on the patio fearing they would otherwise get completely covered by snow. I also paved the area in front of the house were I was putting the dug up ground from the terrace project. I reset the stones for the path to the front door. Now we are ready for the first snow, but no snow fell, well just a little bit, some white on the lawn, when i just checked.
I also learned that last week was the last week for leaf pickup….. So we are going to have the leaf bags around for a while. I hope not for the entire winter.
