 While my friends nd family in the Pacific Northwest have been dealing with a serious, headlines making storm blowing in off the ocean, we've been enjoying a storm of more normal proportions.

It blew in here on Wednesday night, mostly winds, and probably some snowfall, but mostly it re-arranged the bit of show we'd gotten earlier in the week, scouring some areas down to exposed grass, and drifting small to moderate snow dunes in others. 

Thursday morning Keldor left for work as usual at 05:30 ish, mutterimg about the "dåligt väder". But as soon as he got on to the highway and saw that the blowing snow meant that visibility was only a few meters he turned around and came home.

I checked the bus app, saw that it was on the way, and running late. Thought of taking it as planned, and considered the possibility of it getting stuck or winding up in a ditch it couldn't see, and decided to work from home.

This meant that I could happily send my "friskvård timmar" (working out one hour a week, durring business hours) on taking the kick sled up to the store, and then shovelling snow around lunchtime. 

I know I am weird, but I love being out in a snowstorm. 

After work I did more work on thesis corrections, and started one of those major tasks that should have been done long since: making a list of data files used, describing them, and gathering them into an organised file structure. Can I tell you how much I wish I had done a data management plan when I was starting my thesis? But I didn’t know about them then.

But as my current job is helping researchers write a data management plan, it feels important to do a good job with my data management after the fact. 

After putting down the computer for the night we went back out oand shovelled more. The wind has died down, and there is more snow accumulation, but some areas have deeper drifts than others, so it was smart to get it cleared back now, as it is expected to keep snowing till around noon tomorrow.

I really hope this snow lasts, but they are predicting temps as high as +5 C for next week,  which sounds terrible.
