It's hard to tell if it's still snowing, or just blowing around. It looks like we did get the projected 1-2', but with all the drifting, it's really hard to measure. It was knee-deep at the bottom of my stairs, and I'm pretty tall.

I finally got up the ambition to go out and shovel off the deck (actually, just a pathway through it) and stairs. I'm saving the car for after lunch, but my downstairs neighbor's friend plowed out the end of our driveway, so that's not quite as daunting as it would've been.

And of course, I took pictures.

This is what greeted me when I opened the door:

This is how the stairs looked before I shoveled them:

Here is the view from the deck. I was standing in knee-deep snow taking this:

We haven't lost power, thank goodness. Hopefully it'll stay that way. Unfortunately, though, my laptop seems to have bitten the dust. Even though it was a Windows machine, it still makes me sad. It's gotten me through the past year, especially as my Mac was in storage for most of that time. Thank goodness for my iPad. I don't know what I'd do without my Lulabelle. The Mac is so old, I can't use the latest versions of anything. I hate how quickly things become obsolete; it's really not all that old, but in computer years it's a dinosaur.

Anyhoo, I don't have the funds for a MacBook, which is what I really want. I may have to break down and buy an inexpensive laptop at BJ's, because I really do need something. I'll keep looking on Craigslist for a used MacBook, but so far they've all been out of my reach, and I've heard that buying a used laptop is a crapshoot anyway.

Sigh.
