The Blizzard of 2017
Mar. 30th, 2017 04:19 pmA year and a day ago, we had an early-spring snowstorm here in Fernley that dropped around 15 cm of snow but was gone by the end of the day. Today, for a while it looked like the weather was going to try and do last March one better.
( It's Snowtime! )
I restarted the fireplace, and in the process discovered that I'd not completely covered the firelogs on the porch. The firelogs are very efficient, but you cannot let them get wet or they will start to dissolve. Fortunately, not much water had gotten at them when I rescued them and put them to their proper use of heating the house. Also fortunately, there was no pressing need to get out of the house today. I stayed dry inside and worked on Day Jobbe.
This storm was a surprise, but not much of an inconvenience. We don't expect a lot more like this, although there will probably be a few more bits of rain here and there as this very wet winter by local standards spits its last at us.
