Wow! Another significant snowstorm. The snow from the previous storm had mostly melted away after a couple warm, sunny days, and we were enjoying another warm, sunny day yesterday. I was puttering around in my shop, cleaning my electric chainsaw after having used it to cut up the downed limbs from the previous snowstorm. My beloved was tended to seedlings in our sunporch (she's getting ready for spring planting at the botanical garden she is creating). Suddenly, there was a huge explosion. I literally thought something had blown up in the valley below us. We both ran to the picture window facing the northeast and saw that even though our place was still bathed in sunshine, there was a solid wall of dark gray clouds moving in from the northeast. It had been an enormous thunder we had heard.
