Landlady probably made the right choice...

Wind all night. Rain before dawn, followed by our first dusting of snow. To my surprise the clouds went away right around sunup, but the wind came back and is now howling around at property-damaging velocities. And I doubt it's going to warm up much, so even though the temp is mid-thirties the wind chill is probably impressive.

Shivering. Must find it in me to go shit-shoveling. Do not want to. Really, REALLY wish I'd done it yesterday. What was I thinking?

Oh, yeah. I wasn't.
