Well instead of going out, I stayed home and did some cleaning...oh Joy... lol... I mean the monthly type of cleaning.. washing down window frames.. and so on..

I laid a new doormat last week at the back door, but the residue from the previous non slip rug tape was still showing on the floor tiles.. so I got some Adhesive remover, and poured that on, and scrubbed it all off.. came up very nicely thank goodness..

That's enough for today.. it's still dry but overcast outside, but it's very cold... fortunately I have several layers on so when I was back and forth to the Barn it didn't feel too bad, except for breathing in the crisp air..

2.20pm now, another 90 mins and it'll be dark... and tomorrow is forecast to rain all day again..
 

Cold and drizzly out, so, good day to work on the front suspension on the chevy. Just knew those tubular A-arms would come in handy one day. Also trying different parts on the big block. Trying to find the right look. ;)

Another lovely day in paradise,when I woke up at 5:30am looked out my bedrm window noticed we had more snow. I think it was more wind blown because last night it was a bit gusty
I got dressed, bundled up around 6:30,temp was a 'balmy' 21 went outside from our back door entrance. The sidewalks in our community garden had been salted/ shoveled ,so I walked back/forth a couple of times just to get some fresh air/exercise.
There is a travel ban in parts of the city, travel is not encouraged,there are idiots who feel the need to go anyways. The local paper{Bflo News} won't be delivered today,I have the digital copy,can read it on my laptop As I type this its beautiful,sunny, but cold. I'll probably go out again mid morning,go out the front door,sidewalks are shoveled. The rest of my day read my book,magazines

Having lived in upstate NY, @moviequeen1, I know there isn't much that slows down Buffalo, but apparently 5-6 feet of snow all at once will do it Oy vey... take care
 
Enjoyed singing with the choir this AM... we have a new choir director who really knows his stuff and it's a pleasure to sing under his direction.

Home to chicken/corn chowder, apple slices and a big pot of piping hot masala chai... I know the thermometer outside says about 45 degrees F but it's just so raw that it feels a lot colder.

Looking forward to knitting, reading and maybe watching another episode of Inspector Morse.

Thinking about Christmas decorating... I haven't been home for Christmas in several years and definitely haven't had time to decorate (not that I ever went to the nth degree) but I would really love to get the trimmings out and really 'do' the house up this year. We will see...

No no, @hollydolly-- there's none of that where I am. But I remember the winters in NY from my 20's... some winters they just ran out of places to put the shovelled snow!

*phew*.... thank goodness not you..

I remember when I was a kid our Relatives in Toronto.. would send photos of their one story house.. totally up to the eaves in Snow, and they'd be digging their cars out ...
 
In the city where I live, we got about 14 inches The areas south of Buffalo e.g Orchard Park, Hamburg they got 4-5 ft of the white stuff .I'm sure the ski operators are in 7th heaven with all the snow
I went out 3 times this morning was able to go half way down the street most of the sidewalks were shoveled,just for exercise& fresh air.I went again this afternoon,walked 2 times around the apt complex. I'm use to walking in this weather,did so when I was walking to work.
No surprise, Buffalo schools will be closed tomorrow,at least it won't be cold temps in the 40's
 
Here we are again...morning! A cold morning at that. 24F. But I took my coffee to the patio anyway. It just doesn't taste right if not on the patio.

Today's a day off, and I forgot what all I was going to do. Obviously, that means the list was too long;)

One thing I thought of this morning is that I'll make the pumpkin pie and freeze it until Thursday. I'm gonna need cooked pork sausage, too, so that can get done and put in the fridge.

Speaking of fridge, I just remembered that cleaning the fridge was one of the things I planned to do. Ok. Bake pumpkin pie and freeze, cook sausage, clean fridge.

Along with kitchen stuff...wait for it...I'm gonna...wait for it...dust and vacuum. You heard it here first. Dust!

Maybe we'll hear from @Aneeda72 today.
 
So far there's a load of laundry going, fruitcakes wrapped and soaked in bourbon (because I used up all the brandy for the brandied cranberries), removed clutter from countertops and put it all away.

Even managed to get in a shower. Didn't have a chainsaw to cut toenails but got the job done anyway.

Breakfast is heating up...biscuits and gravy, maybe some broccoli. I don't care what time it is. Where is it carved in stone that we can't have broccoli for breakfast?
 
This morning when i woke up at 5am,looked out my bedrm window, no more accumulating snow on ground for a change
I went back to bed for an hr,got up around 6:15 went out for early walk,was 25 a bit of wind, walked to the end of my street.My NYT won't be delivered today,will get it tomorrow
I have no plans for today,hope to get another walk in after the high winds subside probably this afternoon. Tonight I'll watched on Food network' Holiday Baking Championship,always enjoy watching this show
 
Feeling somewhat lost this morning…..there is no sNOw to shovel…..yet. 😉.
Will have the driveway cleared today….I have shovelled the same stubborn snow banks on the driveway often enough….time for the BIG BOY, speaking of the huff….to push the sNOw away south of my driveway, where it doesn’t ‘t cause more sNOw banks.
Will enjoy getting some things caught up with in the house.
Getting some garbage items out for garbage tomorrow…..same with recycling for Wednesday, from my sorting….some things are just garbage and or good for recycling.
Do some more extra laundry, things like couch covers, etc.
