Done Snow Shoveling

Since is is now about 20°, I figured I'd better put on my boots and shovel the walkways before it turns into ice.

So, I shoveled the walkways and a path on the driveway in front of the garage.

Interstate 40 had some accidents overnight (one local had a 7-hour wait to get home from Albuquerque as semi trucks were stopped and blocking the highway. And this was the next exit to the east of us at Coolidge. Also, semi trucks were stopped on the westbound exit, blocking it.

Now, it looks like westbound I-40 is moving, albeit slowly. But traffic is still at a standstill eastbound (I can see the highway from my house).

Well, at least I got my walkways all shoveled. Now to relax for the rest of the day.

That's it for snow for at least this week. It will be cold and sunny, but no more snow this week.
