Sometimes predictions are accurate!
Years ago I remember one of our staff arriving late for work with the excuse that he’d had to shovel 6 inches of partly cloudy off his driveway.
But this storm brought us the 3 to 5 we were promised.

Thus, we set off for Clifton Park at 0745 and had a stress-free drive all the way on clear and mostly empty roads.

With a large chunk of the day taken up by the appointment, I’ll just give you an update on the ice structure.
Because I’m sure you’ve been anxious!

Rebuilding on the shattered remains…

Even wearing dark glasses, in bright sunlight the snow is quite dazzling and the temperature is a brisk 16F/-9C, so I’ll admit this is somewhat challenging!
As temperatures continue to drop significantly, I’m not sure my stamina will hold up, but in the meantime…

A modest but colourful start.
Tomorrow: Grant’s latest summons.

I think the ice sculptures are enjoying the snow!
I think, with temperatures of -9C I would have much rather stayed indoors 😱. I’m definitely curious to read what happens with your ice sculptures – thanks for keeping us posted (and all the lovely photos)!
Carolyn, I have just seen a post on Beth’s blog (fellow cat lover) that might inspire you with your ice sculptures. You can take them in a different direction! Best wishes, Pete.
