We got snow showers over the course of the day yesterday, then 3″ overnight. The bambina has had only one partial day of school so far this week.

There was a dusting of snow yesterday, and then maybe a half inch to an inch overnight, enough at least to delay school (though the bambina is sick).

Maybe 2″ of snow overnight. The city doesn’t seem to have treated the roads, though, and school is closed for the day. Busses seem to be running more or less on schedule.

Brief snow this morning; pretty, and no accumulation.

Over the past year or two, our 16-year-old car has been developing problems. Meghan and I have been begrudgingly keeping it afloat, but resenting it more each time we’ve taken it to the shop.

Several weeks ago, we took the dude’s laptop in to replace its battery, which has been in poor shape for quite some time. We were waiting for the right time to replace the bambina’s laptop’s battery, but early this week its display started acting up (partially blacking out, flickering, blank stripes). So we took that in, but they sent it back unrepaired, because they didn’t have the part necessary to “fix” (replace) the display. So she’ll need a new computer.

The car’s latest problem (finally diagnosed yesterday) is that the battery has started draining (technically the BCM), such that it won’t reliably hold a charge overnight. Meghan and I are officially done with it and are shopping for a replacement.

This evening, the gas oven stopped heating, for the third time in the past year or so.

Oh, and we just paid for the dude’s winter quarter tuition.

The dude was home for three weeks, and is now back at school. Meghan and I were also on vacation for those same three weeks, and the bambina was off for two. It was pretty great, and also kind of a rough reentry into school/work.
