Mr. Sandman

When Tasha and I got back from our walk through the vineyards on Wednesday morning, I noticed that the sand tractor had been on our street. In addition to a fine layer of sand on the snow, there were these tire tracks where the tractor turned around. This is where the asphalt ends and the road becomes a dirt and gravel path to the vines.

Pretty nifty, eh?

The light snow stopped shortly after we got home, but the temperature stayed just below freezing all day. I had a nice hot soup for ready for lunch. This morning it's much colder outside. At 05h30, it's -2ºC (about 28ºF) where our thermometer is, not quite as cold as predicted (I'm sure it's a couple degrees colder out in the vineyards). Still, today's low is supposed to be the coldest of the week. It's already the lowest we've had all winter.

  3. I thought, for a moment, that you were going to tell us that you and Tasha walked around... very carefully... and made a design in the snow like you would with the apples slices on one of your tartes -- ha! I was impressed! And a little worried about you maybe spending too much time alone. LOL

  5. That's a terrific photo. Stay warm! I've been reading about the snowstorm in Paris--and in Columbus, Ohio too, where our daughter lives. Both places had a big (for them) snow.
