View from the Haus

This was the view from the Haus today.





It was so bad in areas that the snowplows were not able to clear interstate highways, much less municipal roads. The local city government and university finally admitted defeat, closing midafternoon. (The area elementary and high schools were much smarter, having cancelled classes by 7a.m.) Even the municipal bus service has been shut down until tomorrow morning. This afternoon neighbors were out helping people push stranded cars; those with snowblowers were helping others remove snow from sidewalks and driveways.

Much as we like to complain about winter around here, we are very lucky that our view was not this. If you were so fortunate as to not be in the path of this storm, I encourage you to help your neighbors.

Regular blogging resumes tomorrow with a bonus - actual finished projects!
