Now that I’m back in Providence, I was finally treated to the serious snow I’d been missing. Nobody in the immediate area lost power, although our lights were flickering a bit last night. It was charming to see the sights this morning – neighbors being neighborly and kids throwing snowballs.
-
- The way the snow stacked up looked man-made in some places, but this tabletop tuft is all natural.
-
- Our landlord / neighbor, Becky brought out a swanky shovel that she had kept inside. Apparently, she got it as a gift, and its predecessor had gotten stolen when she left it outside.
-
- I was surprised that Em ventured outside, but she enthusiastically helped shovel.
-
- Becky had pushed her door open and shoveled her way down the steps.
-
- Our neighbors with the snow blower were quite popular. They made short work of clearing out the sidewalk.
I did some sledding down our street last night. It was a bit unsatisfying because the thickness of this snow makes it hard to run, and I couldn’t go very far.
Also, I was excited to see this notice on our local library website.
I have a book out called Where the Action is, which is technically due today (and it’s an interlibrary loan, which means no renewals), but thanks to the snow, I have another two days with it. All in all, it’s a win-win situation.
That was a great snowstorm but I don’t need any more like it. So glad you were there to shovel. My millennial tenants a bit after you refused. Thought I should pay them!
