Heavy snow

Blizzarding outside. It was coming down heavy a few minutes ago, but it's let up a little. Here's the annual "look at the shrubs, how the snow is deep" picture. It is coming down heavier now -1:49 pm.

That Steven is going to shovel eventually worries me.

Yesterday, just as it started to snow just a little, there was an ambulance across the street. The guy who we think of as "the lawn dude" was taken away- not fast, so I don't think it was a real emergency like a heart attack or COVID - he didn't have an oxygen mask on. I expect he must've fallen or something like that. The Rescue Squad van was there for almost an hour. An Atlantic Paramedic ambulance came, too, so I suppose his wife called the ER to let them know he was in distress and she'd called 911 - a police car was there, too. Atlantic runs Mountainside, I think.

I'm surprised the County Executive hasn't called us again, to tell us to stay in because of the snow. Then again, it's early.
