yeah we had some snow

Photo below I understand is a "viral" photo (I got it from the internet) and is of a traffic jam on Glenwood Avenue about two miles further out of town than where we are.  The hills of Glenwood are somewhat of a challenge when iced over and the storm did come very fast as this was just one of many hills that were blocked by a troublesome car or truck around the city Wednesday.  (It is a rather dramatic photo isn't it).  (rest of the story on the car fire — no known cause, no one hurt, but did sorta jam up traffic)

This is North Hills Drive.  A few cars did come by while I was out for a walk.  A fair number of walkers came by — from abandoned cars.  When I started walking the snow was falling but it changed to a very strong wind with a stinging sleet. 

Our house — looked kinda nice — we had four inches of snow — with a sleet cap which made is real crunch. —and it was cold.

 Thursday we started the traditional next day melting.  These are the footprints of the neighborhood coyote.  He has a long stride.  That is my footprint next to his stride.  He came through our back yard, under the deck, across the concrete and down into the woods.  I have seen him in the cul-de-sac, as has Patt.  Patt thinks he may be a fox as his tail is very bushy.  

And this time next week we will have daffodils.  Lots of them.

On Friday 95% of the snow was gone - perhaps more.
