2018 Life Logs, Day 33—Groundhog Day 2018
Date: Friday, February 2, 2018
Weather: Snow, Ice, and Cold; High 38, Low 11 degrees F
Location: At Home in The Studio, Falmouth, MA

It snowed in the early hours of the morning, not a lot, but the temperature was just right to flash freeze the snow. Mid-morning when I ventured out, the broom I use to sweep snow away didn’t work at all. This was not a fluffy snow, just an icy one. So, when I got to the car, I switched to the scraper and finally got things cleared enough that I could take off. I had decided to drive to Hyannis to buy a few things that I have been wanting and couldn’t get here in Falmouth. The parking lot here at The Studio was icy, but once I was on the main road, things were fine. I made my visit to Home Depot and Whole Foods and then headed home. I went to the gym for my Friday 5 pm class and then came home to fix dinner and catch up on political news. THE memo was released today and I wanted to find out the contents of that. Today was Groundhog Day and Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. Thus we have six more weeks of winter and six more weeks of this insane political mess in which we find ourselves!
