About my last post… just ignore it. So far the temperature is the only indication that this is winter. The snow simply has not come to fruition, though this morning I thought it had. At 4am I’m awakened to the unmistakable sound of steel rubbing across pavement and back-up alarms. I thought for sure we got the mother-lode of snow overnight. I was so wrong.

I imagine the folks that make a living off of snow removal are pretty antsy this year, and as soon as they saw a dusting covering the pavement they came out full force, sanding and plowing. The snow was so light that I saw one contractor using a leaf-blower to clear a sidewalk. I have a hunch small claims court will be clogged in the coming weeks when the land owners refuse to pay these guys for jumping the gun like they did.

At least the weather isn’t effecting my power-walks. Actually I prefer to do it in the frigid cold then in summers sweltering heat.
