Snow, not Jon.

As we say in these parts; "We had a spot of weather come through overnight." As the morning is progressing, we have accumulated just about 4 inches of snow.  It's just gorgeous outside!    

That is the view of Mount Hope Bay. 
 
The back yard. 
  
Power was out a little over an hour overnight, but our home battery backup kicked in and kept things comfortable. First significant outage since the system was installed almost 4 years ago; the event only used 10% of the stored energy (and we had the furnace running!).  Spent the predawn shoveling out the driveway so the husband could get out to work; I refer to is as "The gym is now open". Still coming down, but expected to clear out within the hour.  
 
Or as the song goes...
 

The joy of (me) being retired; (now that the husband made it safely to work) I am just sitting back and enjoying watching the snow with the last of the mornings coffee.  
 
Peace.  
Rade
