Yesterday, February 5th, we got a good-sized snowstorm, dumping between 6-10 inches in the Central Ohio area. At 7 a.m. as I headed into work, the streets were dry and the air was clear and it was 35 degrees. The snow started to fall mid-morning and fell big and thick for the rest of the day. Though the library didn't close early, I took a couple of comp hours, skipped lunch, and left around 2:00. The following pix were taken from the snug comfort of my home. First, the view outside our front door:
Those clear tire paths in the snow did not remain that way for too much longer. Next, the view outside our back door:
From our bedroom balcony window, looking down at the base of the tree in the corner of our "yard" (small fenced-in patch of land):
The heavy snow-covered tree branches feet away from the balcony sliding-glass door:
Finally, opening the balcony door and craning out a bit to the east, for a view of the parking lot (which eventually got plowed--kinda):
I'd be nice to think I'll get ambitious and stroll about the neighborhood taking pictures--the bare trees do look nice with snow draped on them--but the reality is that, after a little shoveling, I'll probably spend the rest of the day inside!
Another week, another snowstorm. 4-7 inches predicted in Central Ohio, with many inches still on the ground from the past two snowstorms. I'm snug at home this afternoon, though I'm also trying to make sure the balconies don't ice up anymore than they have so we won't get the water dripping down our front room and back room walls that we've had off and on lately. While I was popping open the balcony windows and sweeping off the snow, I took these pictures of the near-whiteout conditions: above is from the front, facing the street,; below is from the back, facing the parking lot and the rest of the complex.
