I picked up Arco for myself to play this long winter’s holiday, and, wow is it good! Highly recommended.

December 22; the longest night of the year is behind us. I have a warm coffee, I’ve worked out and made myself breakfast, and I’m finished with work for a long rest.

Well that’s a forecast.

Our snow accumulation has gone from “lots” to “fairytale wintertime.”

Several more inches of snow fell overnight and the clearing morning sky is beautiful. But don’t be too disarmed: more snow is on the way!

The official snowfall at the airport near us was 17+ inches in this storm. We got all shoveled out without needing to get the snowblower fired up, but the forecast is calling for another twelve to eighteen inches in the next two days. Gonna have to stay limber.

Low clouds and some fresh snow made for a quiet, cold early morning walk.

I did get out for a quick photo walk downtown yesterday before getting rained out. I liked this selfie I shot in the window of a brewpub and I’m really enjoying using my old 35mm Pentax lens on my X-T30 as I get more used to manual focus.

I got out for a just-barely-morning photo walk on empty streets, after a night of light, misty rain. Then, takeout favorite breakfast from the Tourist Home.

This was a lovely, cold and quiet wintertime sunrise.
