It's snowing! A gentle, light snow. It shouldn't add up to to much this round. Another round is coming tonight that could bring anywhere from an inch to six inches. It's Valentine's Day and I'm sure the restaurants were booked solid. They'll probably lose money hand over fist. Me, I'm having leftovers. That's what we have on Saturday night.

Lydia and I planned to walk about 11. It was already snowing in the boonies, so she chose not to come.

I went out by myself about 2. Getting up my hill was no problem. Getting up Sassafrass was a horse of a different color. There is a five foot section that really steep. Cars often scrap bottom on it.  Normally it's no problem walking up it. Today I kept wishing I had my snow shoe poles with me. I could not get traction at all. I decided to give it one more try before I went a different way. I walked in old snow and it worked.

Up the alley I went. I turned left on to Wyandotte and came down Fiot Avenue. It was harder getting traction going down than up. I was taking baby steps. Before I could get out into the street, down I went. I went out into the street the first chance I had.

Finishing the hill, I decided on a shorter walk. I headed right on Sioux and down Ontario to Broadway. Once I reached Broadway it was back on the sidewalk, around the bank, and up Wyandotte back to Sioux. Once I reached Sioux again, back out into the street I went until I reached home.

Since I was dressed, I also cleared the snow.

The walk was only about 6K steps and 22 flights of stairs. Clearly, tonight I'll be walking in the house again.
