More snow

Before last week's snow got a chance to melt away, we are getting hit by another wave of snow. So much for the "we don't really see much snow in November" that we were told when we got here. Even the locals are rather surprised as how much we are getting and how early.

The day started out bright and clear, but by mid-morning, the clouds were quickly moving in and obscured any blue that was earlier seen. By noon the first flakes were coming down and just a couple of hours later the snow was coming down in droves.

I took my bike over to the post office. I had just started out and turned up the first block when a vehicle came up next to me, and as I tried to get closer to the side of the road, the bike ended up in a rut and I had one of the rare, slow-motion falls. No ill-effects though. The rest of the trip out and back was uneventful. I was careful to avoid going into any more ruts, particularly since any ruts were now covered and hidden with fresh snow.

If the current forecast holds, we could be seeing another foot or more of total snow accumulation over the next several days.

Elise was surprised to learn that there is no Unit 14 in the RN refersher course. It is present in the online course, but apparently it isn't actually part of it. So she is now finished with the textbook portion of the course. As soon as various paperwork bits complete their various journeys, she will be able to undergo the clinical portion.
