Lots of people are out today taking in the snow, mostly on foot and on skis.
Some plows have been hitting Greenwood Avenue - as evidenced by the mound of snow running down the middle of the road - and what little traffic there is, is moving.
We even saw #5 Metro bus clipping along at a brisk pace. With all the people staying close to home, business has been good for some local businesses including Metropolis and Herkimer Coffee on 74th and Greenwood. On the downside, Herkimer’s pastry supplier couldn’t make it to their store, so all they had left was some biscotti and tea cookies.
The freezing rain that fell early this morning not only left a glaze on the snow, it coated tree branches.
Fortunately, it didn’t appear to be enough to break any limbs. How are things looking in your neighborhood?

It is snowing so hard right now near 85th & Greenwood. We have about 6 inches on our balcony and it looks like we’ll be getting more. Get out the skis!

Did anyone else get hot chocolate from the wonderful folks on 65th? The marshmallows and the music were wonderful. They get the holiday spirit award for sure!

I’m near 83rd and 8th NW. Managed to ski down to 65th to the pubs last night. Driving today was a little spicy on 85th, but with 4wd we’re really nowhere near not being able to drive.
Ballard pool at the HS has managed to stay open through all of this, we hit it for deep water aerobics and a soak in hte spa earlier. A nice respite from a cold snowy day.
