Looked close, and JUST right at an inch at 12:45. That is 90 minutes to make an inch. Currently 29.9/27.5 with snow falling.

Cutting wood at midnight???

It has been a busy week, but it’s a 40 ft walk and an electric chainsawing away for dried, seasoned wood in the wood stove.

Rest/Playing catch-up on sleep deprivation during a snow FUTILITY MARKERS...

So many times, when I lived in Dale City - I'd catch a nap during a storm. 1) Oversleep, mainly from way too much watching of the models, and 2) This is invariably the time when the heavy snow band wrecked Dale City - RIGHT WHEN I WAS FAST ASLEEP.

Plenty of post-nap anger and disillusionment, over missing the heavy dendrites.

More will be added.

It's best to overdose on coffee and uppers if necessary. Do whatever it takes to stay awake until the very last flake has fallen. Snow in the Mid Atlantic is RARE. Last ten seasons have been instructive. Otherwise, sleep like Rip van Winkle, wake up in 2037 then head for Mammoth Mountain Ski resort. It snows HARD for days and days as most of the moisture in the greater Pacific Ocean falls as snow there and winds gust over 100 mph at times. You'll get your fix and you won't be jonesing as bad for snow. Better yet, MOVE there, sleep all you want. They get 400 inches each season.
