Wishing you are safe and sound in warm houses...
Thanks for asking!!
It just seems too weird...but no... yet again we didn't get any snow!!
We left 8 days ago to do a road trip visiting friends down south in MD, SC, and NC. When we left, it still hadn't snowed here at all this winter aside from an occasional 1" flurry. As we drove south, it seemed to get colder and snowier and we drove through some snows. In SC & NC it was unusually cold while we were there (often 15-30 degrees!). Then on our drive back through VA and WVA it was a frigid blizzard! They had 4-5 inches of snow in Roanoke wed. night when we stayed in a motel on the way home! Next day (yesterday) we drove back to upstate NY and home...and as we drove north it got sunnier and more clear. We found it had only snowed about 3" here at home the day after we left on our trip. Not even enough left to plow the driveway.
Thus, here where we are (40 minutes SE of Albany NY) we are STILL not having much snow- certainly not enough to snowshoe on! It's fairly cold...10 to 25 degrees, and breezy, making it too cold to bike.
Spent today catching up on work and errands, plan to do a 3 mile walk hopefully tomorrow to keep from becoming a blob. My virgin snowshows continue to hang in the closet hopefully...
