Oh, the weather outside is white-ful!


Not Cassidy, but pretty much the way she looks right now.

We woke to cloudy skies, which soon began to send down rain, which went through a brief transition to freezing rain/sleet and has now become snow. We expect up to five or six inches of the white stuff by the time this episode ends tomorrow morning.

For Wisconsin, this is not a heavy snow event and the plows will take care of it handily.

I was supposed to meet a friend in town for lunch today, but we decided to re-schedule. She lives ten miles away and should not be driving at all according to her doctor, whom she is determined to ignore. She certainly should not drive under these conditions. So I was glad that weather forced us to change our plans. I am hoping next week I can convince her that it would be better for me to pick her up at home and give her a ride. Her friends are conspiring to keep her off the road, but she is resisting the loss of independence.

It is  not only difficult to get old oneself; it is painful to see one's friends get old.
