Woke up to snow this morning after another night of deep sleep. I actually woke up in the middle of the night last night thinking it was close to getting up time but it was only 12:30PM! Felt good to go back to sleep knowing I still have another 4+ hours to go. The snow picked up in intensity during day but then suddenly changed to sleet and then pouring rain so much of what fell (about 4 inches) is quickly melting away. But still plenty of snow left from the earlier storms so we will about break even on snowcover.

It is really a pain to use my old laptop as it is excruciatingly slow. Had to leave office and load Office 2007 on my home computer so I can get some real work done.

Noted in last year's blog that I was up to notch 17 on my belt. Today, I'm on notch 21.

Almost wiped out in car today driving home. I was missing my merge on the highway and drove across a snowbank. Car fishtailed at about 40mph but I got it under control.

Broke my streak of 25 days in a row walking over 20,000+ steps. Had to happen sooner or later.

Evening walk could have been longer but the conditions were miserable. Streets were slop with huge puddles and after about three miles, I had had enough. At least it felt warm with temps about 33 degrees.
