Possible More Snow Today

The blizzard of yesterday was something else. On top of the snowfall, we also had high winds exceeding 50 mph at times. At times, I couldn't see the front or back yards. 

It is hard to tell just how much snow we received. The winds blew much of it here and there, so gauging the amount is not something that I have any expertise with.

Still, we had plenty, enough to keep me indoors for another day. At least I accomplished something: I found the missing 1892 Barber quarter. It was in a bag of Cuban money left over from the 2010 cruise to Havana.

According to the Weather Channel app on my phone, we have a 50% chance for more snow today. The National Weather Service pegs it as 40%,
