December weather and other things

We're still a couple of weeks from the official start of winter but we've had our first snowstorm. Pretty basic - here on Ledge Hill we received about 8 inches in 24 hours, no high winds or extreme cold, just plain snowing. Did a couple of cleanups with the snowthrower and Carol shoveled out the walkways and the dog pen.

Here's a picture I took on my lunchtime walk yesterday along the Eastern Promenade. That's a tanker docked in the background. This is the day after it stopped snowing. Not quite as much snow as at home. Walking is a little tricky now. I'm wearing lace up boots now instead of my walking sneakers and wearing a heavy coat. Actually the only real hassle is walking in the street where the sidewalks aren't cleared. That will get a lot worse before it gets better.


Here's a few more photos from Thanksgiving at our house.
