This has been another long week. Not as bad as last week, but there was a lot of shoveling involved (and kinda on the cold side, too). As of yesterday, our 26.8″ of snow has us solidly in the early lead for the Golden Snowball award, five inches ahead of Rochester, and actually about a foot over our normal average to date. Last year, we only had a couple of inches at this time, and we still wound up with over 140″, so this could shape up to be a pretty snowy winter. Or not. Either way, I’m sure glad as hell it’s finally Friday.
