Ah, a new layer of fluffy white snow. It's nice in that the fresh layer does its best to hide the ugly dirty snow, the grays...and browns and yellows...of the weeks old snow. What is also hides, however, are the slick, thick, icy sections of sidewalks that have built up thanks to careless property owners who don't think it necessary to shovel your walk. I looked like Oksana Baiul taking my dog for a walk this morning. So be careful, all. In the meantime, the snow will eventually taper off as the day wears on and clouds may break enough to give us a peek at ol' Mr. Sun. Temps stay in the upper teens and drop to the lower teens tonight under partly cloudy skies. The cool week could give way to a balmy weekend with temps in the mid 30s, so there's something to look forward to.
