Here we go again!

(I've used that title before but it's appropriate.)

Yesterday I mentioned how the warm air swept in and melted all the snow off the ground. THIS morning we woke up to a scene from Holiday Inn. You know, the one at the end of the movie where they throw open the doors to look at all the snow falling as they sing "White Christmas."

Yeah, it's a scene right out of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." I stood on the deck and watched the snow fall--not with a light little flutter but with a "KA-THUNK!" It was a white-out situation without any wind.

The temperatures are currently hovering around 25 degrees so there's not much chance of the snow switching to sleet or rain. No, we're forecast for as much as 2-3 inches--and hour. And perhaps 6 to 10 inches total before it ends late this afternoon. When it does end, it will be time for the snowblower, I'm sure.

Oh, and did I mention we'll be getting more--perhaps just as much--on Sunday?

Yep, sure am glad we built the Aerie last year!
