Over 1' of snow yesterday

I guess it is not unheard of for mid-April. We woke up yesterday morning to over 1' accumulation of wet snow, and no power. The house being a little chilly and no coffee/tea available, we crossed the road to the Viselli's to find Joe in the driveway, trying to shovel out his Aunt Cindy's Corolla.

Aunt Cindy was determined to be on her way even though the road was a mess and it was still snowing. Kavi had the day off, so he used the snowblower to clear the Viselli's driveway, then joined me inside to enjoy the Viselli's woodstove and company. Electricity came back on about 11am.

I don't know what the robins are doing for food right now. It has been really strange to see and hear the red-winged blackbirds doing their spring thing in a snowy scene.
