Covid Journal, Day 256: Snow!

30 and snowing. Continued all day, with about 5" accumulation.

Remember my post the other day, the one where I was picking flowers? Definitely didn't do any of that today.









We holed up. I worked on getting Christmas decorations out and general puttering, and Larry was in and out taking care of the critters, getting in wood for the fireplace, and such things. He cannot stay inside for more than an hour when it's light out. He ended up out in the workroom finally, when he decided it really was too cold to be out.

So now to decide: does this count as a November 30 snowfall, or a December 1 storm? It's important because according to folklore, the date of the first measurable snowfall is how many measurable snows we'll have that winter. In this case, you can see why it's a weighty matter. About 2-3 inches of snow fell yesterday evening, and then about 2-" more today. So...how do we count it?

  1. That's a lot of snow. Good question about how to record it. I would do both days because that's how it happened.
