So, yay.  More snow today.  Just enough to be annoying.  Although it is enough to make this January the snowiest January on record.  Ever.  Well, since they’ve started keeping records here anyway.  Yay.

So far we’ve had the most snow fall in a 24 hour period, (I had blogged that it tied, but it actually surpassed the record), and now the snowiest January on record.

On top of more snow, that I can’t shovel – yay!  (Although Stu said it was nice and fluffy the first time he went out, and heavier the second), the leak in the kitchen ceiling (that seems dry now), the possible ice dams on the roof (that we can’t get to), we now don’t have hot water in the kitchen.  There is hot water in the half bath and the rest of the house, but not the kitchen sink.  Very convenient for not washing dishes.  It is more fun to let them sit.  It’s also fun to torture the piglet – she does not enjoy having her face washed with cold cold water.

At first I was concerned that we had a frozen pipe.  But after worrying myself a bit too much, realized that it would make more sense for the cold water pipe, not hot, to be the one frozen.  Stu looked around on-line, and thinks now that it’s a clogged valve or something.  I think he’s going to try to fix it later today.  Yay!

Oh!  It looks like the snow may have stopped.  Another good thing.
