Aidan kept busy in the snow and sunshine yesterday while the schools reeled with closures...

The end all of snow forts!

Architectural detail.

If I'd known there was a fort in progress earlier in the day I'd have gone over and made lots of snowball ammo for the armory.

I did get out for a walk...

The street looked like this from the entrance to the court.

Shoutout to Marge: I wonder if this will melt by mid-March!

Actually, dump trucks a block away were being filled, one by one, with the snow mounds made with the plows; then, piled into the trucks by a front-end loader. Each time a truck was filled, another pulled up. I think the trucks were two in number rotating between the loader and where they dumped the loads. I didn't discover that location because my walk was shortened by my unwillingness to slog through salted slush that was everywhere but Marge's street. The sidewalks were cleared by residents--sort of. Very slippery. I'm avoiding that after the poor soul was taken to the hospital on Sunday after his fall. I think I'll invest in one of those pointy walking sticks--maybe two!




I'm avoiding going out since the roads are still being cleared. Nothing pressing today. Aidan's school resumed after a late start so no snowball ammo is needed.
