With just over three inches of wet, heavy snow accumulated on the ground when it finally stopped at 12:30 PM, Terry and I manned the shovels instead of the snow thrower to clear the deck, the driveway and the short trails to the propane tank (delivery is overdue) and the bird feeders. Terry worked for an hour and a half--until she could no longer toss shovels full of snow high enough to clear the mounds ringing the parking area. I was out there for my usual two and a half hours.
Although it fell as a light powder, the snow rapidly compacted as the temperature rose above the freezing mark. As I mentioned earlier, the weather is supposed to approach near spring like conditions during the next two weeks including four days of mostly sun forecast for Saturday through Tuesday.

Terry prepared a nice broiled lemon-peppered fillet of cod, some mashed potatoes and peas for dinner. A good hardy meal that I could enjoy even with the pulled molar. Dessert was the ever popular Jello in cranberry flavor.

Tomorrow, Terry takes her Jeep Compass down to Williamsport to have the oil changed and get the 7500 mile service done. I'll be staying home doing some cleaning and straightening up.
Terry's cousin (and my buddy) Joe will be coming out tomorrow evening. He has an appointment with a building inspector set for Friday morning. Joe and his wife, Pat, have had their offer for a home over near Wellsboro accepted and if the inspection doesn't show any major problems, they'll be closing on it some time in April. It will be good to have company even for just the night.
