Earlier this week, I heard loud machinery and looked out my front door and saw a work crew digging around the storm drain across the street. Eventually they replaced the sidewalk with gravel and blocked it off with caution tape. I suppose they’ll come back next week to fill in the concrete, weather permitting. For now, Charlie and I have to step out on the street to detour around it when we take our walks.
The weather was mild that day and pleasant through most of yesterday. Then the cold returned. There was a chance of snow this afternoon, but it passed to the north of us.
The forecast said that New Jersey and New York were going to get hit with a severe snowstorm this evening. Marie was headed that way on the train today, so she left earlier than planned and changed her ticket to a train that got her there an hour and a half earlier. Tonight she posted that she made it there just as the snow was starting to stick.
She returns to Southern California in January after a winter break. The weather there has been pretty awful, with torrential rains that flooded some towns and closed roads. I hope her luck continues so that she stays safe and comfortable.
