This morning we awoke to some nine inches of fresh snow. Not what the forecasters has predicted. Thick, heavy, moist. And more falling by the second in "flakes" an inch or more across.

With it being so beautiful outside and no critical meetings on campus, I decided to work from home. Good choice.

Apparently Ithaca and campus got rained on instead, so they missed out on the beauty we enjoyed.

In the late afternoon Shelley made our first snowman in a long time. We had enough snow on the deck that she built him just there, and there he still stands.



Kitchen-window view, first thing in the morning.




Morning snowstorm, slightly later.
