There has been some extreme weather in various areas this fall/winter, but we're having the first real snowfall of the season here. There are threats that this may drop a bomb cyclone but it doesn't seem to have exploded. Yet, at least. There have been some changes to how the parking lots will be plowed here, so I'm on alert to move our cars when the time comes. There's a little pressure with that, as it's like scrambling snow-covered jets. But it always works out, so I'm just staying in the zone. Hopefully things work out as smoothly for everyone in the storm's path.
