Frightful, delightful... SNOWWWWW DAY.

Tis snowing. Tis Freezing Raining. Tis Snow Emergency.

Several inches of snow/freezing rain has fallen and continues here in Indianapolis. Schools, libraries, universities, businesses... closed. News shows few cars on the roads. Good. That makes it easier for plows and emergency vehicles. The city even retro-fitted garbage trucks with plows to keep streets clear. That makes sense since garbage pick-up would be more difficult.

I was out shoveling earlier and it was soooo quiet and serene. Just the sound of the shovel and crunch of snow/ice under my feet. It's still coming down, so more shoveling later today. But it's heavy stuff, so better to do part now and part later.

I was walking by the front living room window and something caught my eye. A squirrel's tail sticking out of the snow. Then a squirrel's head popped up, looked around... kinda like it was taking a breath before diving. Then down goes the head. Few seconds go by with just the tail... and out pops the head again. With a nut in its paws. Amazing sight. The squirrel didn't seem fazed by the snow. But it was still amazing to see. Seemed like it was perfectly natural for the squirrel... dive into the snow and come up with a nut.
