Snow and Cold in Town

Last Tuesday night (1 February), it started to sleet here in Metro St. Louis. It was followed the next day by slight snow fall at first. By early Thursday morning (3 February), it got heavier. Snowfall here got to around 6 inches (0.15 m), while temperatures went down to 10 degrees F (-12 degrees C). 

I was able to shovel snow off half of the driveway, but my manager advised me not to drive to work on Thursday with the rough road conditions. Thus, I stayed home that day. This gave me time to work on finishing a ship model for this month's IPMS/Gateway meeting.

Friday morning, I made it to work, where I helped my colleagues to dig our vehicles out of the snow. Business was understandably light, but things went well.

Yesterday, I finished clearing snow off our driveway and the walkway in front of our house. After those chores, I stayed inside, watching the NHL All Star Game on TV and working some more on my ship model.









This morning, the roads were good as I drove to Olympia Athletics & Events Centre in St. Charles to referee SLYSA futsal games. Today was the last day of the 2021-22 season. I worked four girls matches as scheduled, but then stayed to do a boys game that I didn't know was added to my schedule until that morning. Fortunately, all the matches went well.

Later.
