The storm began on Friday and didn&#8217;t let up until yesterday afternoon. We ended up with freezing rain and sleet, snow, more rain and sleet, and then snow flurries&#8230;.the total amount of snow was only about four inches, but it fell on top of about two inches of ice. That&#8217;s what we measure on our driveway, anyway. Another weekend watching Mass on EWTN &#8211; there&#8217;s no way I can get the car out and up the hill.<\/p>\n<p>We lost power only for a few hours on Friday night. The electricity went off around 10:30. John called it in, and the recording at the power company said it was a problem at the substation. We breathed a sigh of relief. That&#8217;s easier for them to fix than if a line went down on a back road somewhere in the middle of an ice storm. Sure enough, around 1 a.m, the power came back on. I was never so glad to hear the hum of the furnace amidst the constant hiss of sleet against the window panes.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, I worked in the morning, and then we curled up in front of the fireplace with our books. I have been rereading my favorite mystery author, Phil Rickman. I made a pot of French onion soup. It&#8217;s the first time I made it from scratch and it came out terrific. I felt inordinately pleased with myself. It was one of the recipes that intimidate me &#8211; it sounded much harder to make than it really was. I even had a set of those fancy onion soup crocks with the lids. A neighbor back in Huntington was throwing them out and John snagged them for me. So I made dinner as if we were at a fancy bistro and served it in the fancy crocks. It was so much fun! It was just what we needed on a cold, stormy winter&#8217;s night.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I snapped these pictures of our typical walking route. Enjoy this tour of our winter wonderland, after the storm.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;\">Remember my flower garden?
