Snowed In... Again

That's right. It's in the upper teens tonight as I write this, and it has been snowing since about 10am with a forecast of continuing through the night. We're staying at Rebs' mom's house, which happens to be on kind of a hilltop. So we chose not to get out today. This is pretty much a repeat of two and three days ago, except the first time was with an icy intro. Probably the best thing about it so far has been taking our dog Legend for walk in it. She about 12 and a half now, but when she goes outside, she acts like a puppy, bounding in the taller stuff, sometimes dropping her mouth into it as she walks to quench her thirst, occasionally rolling in it, and when we go around the block, she seems to like taunting the other neighborhood dogs that she's on a walk while they're behind the fence.

The good news is that all this cabin fever has forced us to get focused and take care of exciting things like going through junk mail from the past 2 years, torturing myself with climbing videos, or checking up on my 401K plan. Well, maybe it's not that exciting, but at least I have nothing better to do to avoid doing it any more.
