November Snow!

We had several COLD days last week where the temperature did not get above freezing even with the sun shining. Then the forecast indicated a storm from the south and it appeared we would get rain. However, another storm hit us from the west and we awoke this morning to snow - but not much more than a dusting. The local news showed many schools in the area either had a delay of 2 hours or were closed. And the snow kept falling through out the morning. We went out several times to brush off the cars or just take Honey for a walk. Then B went out with the leaf blower (back-pack) and cleared off the driveway and cars.

In the picture above, you can see a bit of the railing that shows we didn't get a lot of snow. This morning the snow was light and so using the blower was a great way to quickly clear the driveway and cars.

Here is Rocket Man going down the drive.

Our local road guy was by earlier pushing the snow off. The middle of the road is clear. It did keep snowing and B kept clearing the car off as we planned to go out to dinner. This afternoon the snow got heavier - almost sleety. While the driveway looked clear it was also a bit icy. So, we cancelled the dinner reservation and will stay home. A smart decision! Rain is on the way and hopefully the mess will be melted by tomorrow.

So, what to have for dinner??? We agreed on Sloppy Joe sandwiches on a hoagie roll. Easy,  rather quick to make and yummy. 

And should the rain be icy or snow, I'm set for Thanksgiving dinner! Turkey is in the refrigerator defrosting. We got a 9 pound Butterball as it's just us and while we like leftover turkey there is a limit to how much! Tomorrow I'll make the cranberry relish. Thankfully we were out shopping late last week so there is really no reason to need to leave the house.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
