If We Were Having Coffee on the 18th of March, 2023 #weekendcoffeeshare

Hello and Welcome! Come on in and I’ll get you a nice mug of super strong dark roast, a cuppa tea, some hot cocoa or another beverage. A lot of snow still on the ground, but it is melting fast! It was about 50F/10C yesterday and will be pretty close to that again today. That is the thing about a March storm – the snow doesn’t last long. Oh, were are we? Some of you may recognize the photo at the top as being from New Hampshire.

This was a super busy work week with back-to-back meetings all day every day. Next…

We had a little storm that started Monday night and went until the early hours of Wednesday. The official snowfall total for my town was 25″/62.5 cm. The next town up the hill from us had 34″/86.5 cm and there was one town in New Hampshire that had 42″/106.75 cm! That is a lot of snow…

OK, the way the snow quickly packed down, there were few places that I saw two feet of snow. I shoveled off and on on Tuesday and realized that no matter how hard it was snowing, it didn’t seem to get any deeper, that the shovel marks I made quickly caught up to the surrounding areas, though much less dense.

And that was it, the snow grew more and more dense. That, for those who do a lot of shoveling, means heavier and heavier shovelfuls… By the end of Wednesday’s cleanup, the snow was super heavy! Also, since the ground was relatively warm when the snow started, places in the shade or elevated places (table tops, car roofs, etc.) accumulated much closer to the 25″ than ground, though still looking like a lot less.

Anyway, there was a lot of snow, and it was a mess, but it is melting very rapidly.

Besides snow removal, I didn’t exercise enough last week. I did run on Monday before the storm, but not since.

I read a lot, played music, wrote a little, played with cats and dogs, walked dogs, etc. Yeah, a bit of a disruption this week, but for the most part I did the typical. Since I telecommute, well, even work was normal.

And that is it. It will be warm today and I will be out and about.

Thanks for visiting! If you have a coffee share, I will try to stop by. Have a great weekend!

      Yes, I am pretty used to NH’s late winters and the snowy March weather, so a little storm doesn’t bother me too much. But I am sick of winter ;)

    That was a lot of snow!!! We had some snow coming in the beginning of the week, but nothing like that! Wow! It’s actually been a beautiful week weather-wise, perhaps around 20-25F, today it reached almost 30F. We are expecting Warner day temps this coming week, up to 40F I believe. The nights are still freezing. I wish you a wonderful new week, without snow shovelling.

      It was a lot of snow, but it is amazing how fast it is melting. We have had a few days up to 50, though it is below freezing at night.
      I did see some of your photos of the snow. it does look pretty.
      Hope you have a wonderful week :)

      Yes, shoveling wet, heavy snow was a workout, if not quite working the same muscles I use in my little home gym. Thanks, hope your weekend is going well :)

    No wonder you didn’t exercise as much the snow shoveling sounds like a workout all on it’s own, so really you did extra exercise, lol. Glad you got to play your music & have fun with your menagerie. Have a happy fun week ahead

      I am ready for spring! Actually, I did a very long walk on back roads with my dog this morning and was surprised at how clear everything was. Looking at the forecast, I’m guessing all of this snow will be gone by this time next week!
      Thanks for stopping in! I hope you have a great weekend and a wonderful week ahead!

      Hi Robbie – “and very cold” is SA speaking 😉 It is actually relatively warm, pretty close to normal here for this time of year. But, yes, a huge amount of snow! Because of the warm-for-New-Hampshire-in-March temperatures, it has cleared considerably in the last few days.
      This week at work was very busy in a very bad way – yes, I think we all hate those types of days and weeks.
      I hope you have a great weekend!

          I tried to take this down, it’s a bad joke. No offense, I am a complete ***. Meant nothing by it. I just have a horrible sense of humor. Please don’t take me serious, not a veiled threat, reason for the stupid winking face.

        Note to self… if I want to avoid panic attacks in the future avoid making jokes like this, I am sorry. I meant nothing by this. I am just an *** with a stupid sense of humor. Meant nothing by it.
