3.5 inches and counting

It started snowing shortly before noon. It took most of two hours for it to start sticking to the pavement hereabouts, but it's been making up for that ever since.

Happy Leap Day, everyone! Before it's over, I may well have the opportunity to leap into a pile of snow for the first time since the October storm dumped a foot of snow and knocked out electricity for most of a week.

Minicon, here we come!

I took advantage of the day's traditions and proposed to carnyjack that we go to Minicon this year. He said yes, thereby deftly avoiding the penalty of having to buy me 12 pairs of gloves, a dress, fabric to make a skirt, or the suitable alternative given that it was Minicon I was proposing, not marriage.

Minicon! Music! Great GoHs*! Good fun! Peeps, I expect. Peeps and oh, so many of the Usual Suspects, including some who have shown up and become Minicon regulars since I was last there a full five years ago.

Minicon 47 will be my 27th Minicon. Jack's not far behind that. We're looking forward to it.

You? C'mon! Add to the fun!
