Legend tells that in ancient times the mighty Odin slew the Frost Giants and brought to an end an unceasing age of cold and darkness.
Somehow the Frost Giants survived.
I don’t know how much snow and ice fell yesterday, though I’ve seen that the official total for Red Lion (ie., a town next door in easy walking distance) was 9 inches. And I’m fine with that.
It was over by about 8 o’clock last night. I shoveled the walk late yesterday afternoon, and clearing it this morning wasn’t especially difficult. It was frozen but easy to break up and cleared quickly.
There are crews working on clearing the rest of the sidewalks, and I expect a snow plow later.
Some people have already gone out on the roads. From what I can see, they’ve been cleared. Or, at least Walnut Street, which is all I can see, has been.
Early forecasts show another big storm coming up this weekend.
Odin, we beseech thee! End this rampage of Frost Giant and bring warmth to these forsaken lands once more!
Some pictures from later in the afternoon.
I walked down Walnut street to the field that overlooks all of Yoe. It was quiet. I passed a few people still digging out their cars. (I have not started on mine.)
Looking back on Walnut Street, there were still a lot of cars that hadn’t moved in days.
Close to sunset, I was curious what the clouds looked like. Some pink highlights.
It’s going to be super cold tonight.
