Winter has now settled in here in the North Country. We were watching the forecast for about a week on this storm because they were predicting a lot of snow, but there is always hope that it won’t as much as predicted. We were in a range of 12-24, so it was going to be a lot regardless.

I was a little worried it would affect the Women’s Empowerment march on Saturday, but the snow didn’t really start coming down until much later. I do think the temperatures in the teens and the weather kept people away.

My sister and her husband came up to join John and I marching.

Did I mention it was cold? Brrrr! Plus a breeze had picked up, which made it seem worse. Bundled up, though.

Me and my sweetie 😀

I love my scarf so much. I got it in Ireland and it is the warmest thing – plus it is extra long so I can wrap it a few times around my neck.

The snow began in the late afternoon:

We ended up with 16 inches officially, so about in the middle of the predicted amount.

It’s a lot of snow. The worst part is the end of the driveway where the plow keeps pushing it back in. The snow was a bit taller than our little snowblower, so that was interesting LOL, but at least we didn’t have to deal with sleet and ice like points a bit farther south.

Wind was blowing snow around and it started piling up on the porch roof below our kitchen window:

It’s going to be a long time before that is clear. The cold wave starts with below zero temperatures coming (It’s 3 degrees right now).

The road crews were great as always and roads are quite passable now.

Back to business as usual tomorrow. I joined Planet Fitness, so I’ll be able to make a gym visit tomorrow.

Aligner update: I changed into my 3rd set last Wednesday. I wear this set for 2 weeks. This one was really tight to start with, but I got used to it pretty quick. I don’t see any difference in my teeth, but I do notice it is a little different when I floss, especially between my two front teeth. It’s not quite as tight.
