I could feel it changing me

[sovay]

Nothing, what’s snew with you? Or, it finally snowed last night and stuck. Possibly we were supposed to get more of it, but as it phased last night through sleet and freezing rain and the ever-popular "wintry mix," I was worried enough about waking up to the empty drying streets of what passes lately for winter in Anthropocene Boston. I don't know that it will last, but at least it looks briefly like February. Around dawn between pain and weird dreams, I saw a rabbit in our back yard, leaving tracks over the snow.

Oh, that's pretty!

Thank you! It's the view out our doorless back porch.

Snow!!

[sovay]

Snow!!

And it's still out there!

I'm glad you didn't get buried.

I admit ithe snow provides a sense of appropriateness when this whole warm winter has felt strange and disjoint. I made myself go outside and stick my fingers in it, because

Thank you. I realized last night we still don't have a snow shovel, though.

Excellent!

I really like winter. I really don't like what it's changing into.

That's really pretty.

"Wintry mix" is forecast for surprising parts of California, heh, and a whole blizzard warning for LA/OC/SD/Vent. Guess all those requests of the Northeast to share y'all's watery precip finally went through, only not perhaps in ideal form.

Irony, the motive force of the universe! Stay safe.

(Thank you.)

Yay snow!

There's been hail in Los Angeles today (which happens occasionally), and I'm hoping for a freak snowfall in my neighborhood while this chilly weather lasts. Very unlikely, but I can dream.

Fingers crossed!

It has begun snowing again in the evening, very lightly, unlikely to add much, but at least it feels real.

Very pretty!

Thank you!

Stay safe.

Thank you--you as well!

I am glad you got the snow! We were 70 degrees today and it was creepy.
*hugs*

Thank you! I am very sorry about your summer weather! The month has been prevailingly balmy so far and I have not been enjoying it.

*hugs*

Nice to get a sense of the place around you, the neighborhood. What floor are you on again?

The rabbit is excellent. I took a trail through the woods to get to the post office the day before yesterday and ran into a rabbit in the same location in both directions. Maybe/probably the same one, just happy with that particular spot. Maybe your rabbit will visit again.

This.

We are on the first floor, which is different from anywhere I have lived independently before. So far it seems to make me keep the blinds drawn more often, although I am working on the idea that sunlight is good for me.

Nice! I hope so. (If we have a garden in the spring or summer, I am sure I will feel differently.)

I bought an odd ergonomic one with a bend in the handle a couple of years ago. I recommend that kind. (Maybe they're better known in traditional snow country, but I hadn't ever seen one in Seattle.)

My parents have one! I find it harder to use than the regular kind, but my father likes it.

We might even get more of it next week!!

I could get used to that! It would be like a whole different season!
