And the snow keeps coming down

This morning the city maintenance crews came by and plowed our street. In the process they left a bit of plowed stuff blocking the entrance of our driveway. Once I got that cleared off, Elise and I drove out to the church to see to the parking lot condition. When we got there we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the lot had been plowed. We suspected that one of our members who works at the cannery borrowed some heavy equipment to move the snow out. When he arrived, I confirmed that he did indeed come out this morning to do the job. We're quite thankful that these things get done to allow the rest of us to come and worship without physical impediment.

The temperature dipped below freezing this afternoon, and the snow increased. There were times when the wind blew strongly, it was near blizzard-like. I went out to push away more snow from the driveway. Now just an hour later, it looks like I might have to go out and push away snow again in a little while.

As always, the official forecast and what actually happens don't quite match. For example, this afternoon's forecast only calls for another inch of snow. I can tell you that we are getting about an inch every half hour.
