Yep, we have a major snow storm going on. Woke up to 3″ on the ground and a prediction of 8″ by the end of the day. This isn’t the worse storm in my memory. We once got 6 FEET of snow over two days. But it’s enough to close the schools (not unexpectedly). My husband had to go in, and I let him borrow my Subaru, so here I am at home.
Among my tasks for the day is to keep our walks shoveled. I’m using it also as a sensory experience as I work through scenes in The Tale of the Drakanox where Meven, the Ice Witch, is exerting her powers. It’s easy to forget, as I sit in my warm house writing, what cold feels like. How it stings on exposed skin. How it burns its way into your lungs. Fingers and toes feel the cold build up, and they warm more slowly. The longer you’re out there, the more painful it becomes.
Just a little peek at the writing life!

I’m a little jealous of your snow. Temps here were nearly 70 yesterday, and now they’re in the 40s. Such weird weather this year. Hope you get some writing done in between shoveling, Deby!
Here they really got it in CDA today. Close to your area.
Yes, we and CDA are 30 miles apart. We both got about 8 inches all told.
I grew up when and where shoveling snow was something I got to do about once every four years.
Here and now, record heat is followed by record cold; record rain by record drought….
