White and Cold II.

2-13-24 SHORT HILLS: Just when we thought winter was over, we got a ton of wet snow. They predicted this almost to the last flake, but I discounted the prediction as ‘forecaster-hysteria’. It has stopped by mid-afternoon, and the trees are starting to shed the snow. 

Yesterday I got the pool cover pump going to drain a big load of rain water, and I saw snowdrops about to open and snowflakes coming up, it was in the fifties. Today it’s in the twenties with a load of white stuff. Winter is back.

Judy was outside with the dogs a few times taking pix. There’s eight inches of wet snow and it’s cold, but there very little wind. I don’t see any damage at this point, but the problems may show up later. 

On Sunday we were in Brooklyn to see Lily and Danna’s new apartment in Brooklyn Heights. It’s just beautiful—roomy, bright, light, airy. Valerie’s fam was there along with Alison, Anna, Gardner and Emmett.
