Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

A nor’easter came ripping through Sunday afternoon and evening. The forecasts were all over the map, anywhere from three inches to three feet, and, at least in my part of Pennsylvania, it turned out to be about six inches.

It was heavy, wet snow, and it cleared fairly easily. After I cleared the sidewalk and my car, I went for a walk through the neighborhood.

The water tower in Yoe

Yes, I was that weirdo wearing shorts, a hoodie, and sneakers without socks yesterday. Honestly, it didn’t feel terribly cold.

A house on Broad Street that used to be a Methodist churck

While that looks like a church — and was, it was an EUB/Methodist church until about fifty years ago — it’s been rehabbed into a house. It came up for sale several years ago.

The cemetery on the opposite hill looked nice in the snow.

A discarded sectional at the dumpsters that got caught up in the snow plow

And, if anyone needs a sectional, there’s one out by the dumpsters, free to a good home.

Today will not be as warm as yesterday, but it’s definitely prettier. Blue skies, light clouds. Yesterday was a bit grim.

Mid-fifties by the weekend. It’s about time.
