The sun came out this morning, not for long enough to melt all the ice off the streets and sidewalks, but certainly enough to be cheering. I went for a long walk, for exercise and errands, and was happy to catch a bus home. Walking carefully on icy slushy streets is very tiring.
We're snow wimps here. It's all those hills, and our usually mild climate - no need for snowplows and sanding trucks during winter rains. An inch or two of snow shuts down everything, especially when the temperature drops enough to freeze the not-quite-melted slush.
Z's office closed at noon yesterday, and did not reopen today. Nevertheless, the Messiah went on as planned (with a much-reduced chorale and orchestra, and a small but hardy audience well rewarded for its fortitude.) Four performances to go.
More snow is coming tomorrow and Sunday. Today an e-mail announced that church is entirely closed this Sunday - a wise decision, since the building sits at the top of a steep hill.
