February 21



There's more snow coming tomorrow.

We have quite the assortment of snow-clearing tools on our front porch. Different shovels work better for different kinds of snow clearing; there's one for lifting lots of light snow, metal-tipped models for cutting through crusts of ice, large metal spades, a plastic one for wetter snow, and one small solid steel square blade that's excellent for whacking and cracking sheets of ice. Oh, and the broom -- this is for when there's not enough snow to shovel.

Hopefully, tomorrow's snow will be the last of the winter, and soon, the landladies will make the shovels go away for the season. And I can't wait.
