Well, here I am

I am up, have been off and on for hours. Bob has woken up, but then got a nose bleed, laid back down and went back to sleep.
I have not seen any totals, but it does not look too bad, yet. Snow is still falling lightly.
We have plenty of food. We have power, we have internet. I think we are staying at home.
I do need to get some boots on and move the trash bin out to the street, just in case they pick it up Monday like they are supposed to.
When I got home yesterday afternoon we had almost no accumulation and there was a tank truck out brining the streets here in town. I guess that is good.
The snow makes everything quiet. It could get boring, but I do not think it will. If it snows all day today we will not go to church tomorrow. If school is closed on Monday we will be paid anyway.
So that is all the update there is to be had. Keep safe, everyone.

I'm worried about Bob and the nosebleeds... I hope he doesn't need to see the doctor about them. Pretty made a doctor appointment for me the 2nd or 3rd of February because of the fall I took. She thinks I broke my nose and I'm still blowing out blood clots...
We may have about 4 inches of sleet and snow mix and it's still falling. The forecast says we may get another 4 or 5 inches of snow today. We also have a cold wind blowing. I'm not a fan of the cold. 
I've been looking at movies that I'd like to watch; I might try watching all of the Avatar movies this weekend. We shall see.

Bob requested an appointment with an ear, nose throat specialist. He has always had nose bleeds but they are more frequent this year. After additional labs after the primary care saw him, she is referring him to a hematologist/oncologist.

@GardenGerty I hope they can figure out what's causing the nose bleeds. I used to have them after I started using the CPAP but they finally stopped.

Our pastor says they always open the church but it being rural they understand people not making it out. We bought a snow blower at church this year.

@GardenGerty Oh, that’s good!
My dad gave the decision whether to cancel or have church to the assistant pastor this year in a bid to give him more responsibility when my dad retires next January.

Plan to, for us will be more of an ice storm than snow storm I think, but I am still predicting 5 or 6 inches of snow. Stay safe.

It is still snowing slowly. Not a lot of wind. Medium size flakes. No freezing rain or sleet. We have all we need, we are staying home.

I wonder if they would, or if you're setting up your grash bin to be a projectile.

We are not having heavy wind today, and my bin is far enough back that no one should hit it. Very little traffic here, but a couple of semi trucks. I think our road is more clear than the designated business route.

@GardenGerty If you get the snow though, won't it become less clear?

Bob has had health issues for ten years now. He is as okay as he can be, but there have been times I thought I would lose him.

Mother Nature is making up for an entire winter in one storm.

Yes, right now we are at 0 F, with light snow. Not much of a breeze here. We will be seeing a couple of doctors regarding his nose bleeds and his low iron and platelets. I have heard, not from a doctor, that the nose bleeds can be a symptom of his heart failure. We are trying to stay on top of things.
