This just in--

clarentineRichmond VA has snowpocalypse! Yes, Virginia, the weather gods have not abandoned us. We have an honest-to-goodness eight inch snow accumulation, the first of such quantity in probably ten years, and your correspondent is stoked--not least because it means state workers are off for the day, and I get to play with the dogs and write and read. Woo!
Kay is in seventh heaven. She's convinced that the snow was put there just for her to play in and insists on eating half her weight in white every time we go out...which is often. *g* (I got this dog because I wanted to bring more life into the house. Let's just say I succeeded.)
We do have branches down in the back yard, pines being the delicate things that they are, but those are going to wait for moving until I can get to them through the snow. I was very happy this morning to see that none of them fell on my shrubbery, only on the lawn or mulched areas.
The snow appears to have mostly stopped accumulating. Now the wind's doing its sculpting thing, howling through the pines. All in all, I'm glad I'm inside.
(N.B. - make that 11 inches.)

Last night, before bed, I wrote the last sentence of the climax scene in Break. That leaves only the summing up and laying of final trails into the next book, which I will attempt today in between dog tending chores and playing in the snow.
Guess I'd better get at it!
