    Brooklyn, February 2026. In the middle of a blizzard. Silence as I walked down the block. The road hidden under a thick blanket of white, interrupted by a dark stripe of tire tracks receding into hazy distance. A line of parked cars, thickly encrusted with snow like sloping white hills. Trees with dark slender limbs outlined in white. Blank wall of sky. A streetlight far off, glowing dimly. Winter in full force, transforming a bustling city into the silent middle of nowhere.

        I looked out the window, and squirrel friend was giving me the, "I'm hungry! Where's my breakfast!" look, so I rushed outside with some walnuts and hazelnuts. When I came back into the house, crow friend was eating the hazelnuts. So I quickly put together some crow food and brought that outside (corn, peanuts, sunflower seeds, leftover cat food, suet bits). Then I came back into the house and my Blue Jay buddy had beaten everyone to the feast, but now the crow is back with a friend!

                            A look out on my deck this morning after a good 60cm of snow fell over the past 24 hours. The snow covers the sliding door up to the handle with a drift on the right side going up to the slanted roof of the garage. Another drift in the back is up against the wooden railings. An above ground pool is on the left side of the yard, with a brown gazebo on the right ahead of an old, stained shed. In the distance are three houses on the opposite street with fences between them. The houses are (from left to right) white, dark blue, and beige.

                                Good Morning
                                As a belated public service announcement, here is some fairly bland reporting on snow removal tools. If you live in Toronto, where 50+ cm of the white just fell, all shovels and snow blowers will be sold out in every store by 8:42 am. Pro tip - salt doesn't work on 2 feet of snow. Here in Belle Ewart, where we received 20ish cm from , I will be using 2 regular shovels, one with an ergonomic sexy curve, and my handy single stage battery blower. The electric blower struggles with the chunky heavy stuff the evil plow operator dumps at the end of my driveway but so far it hasn't been defeated. Remember to lift with your legs, which I've never seen anyone do.

The road and sidewalks are covered in a thick layer of snow, making it difficult to tell the boundary between them.

Farther off are a community garden behind a high metal fence and the facade of a low-rise apartment building. Everything is heavily obscured by snowflakes filling the air. The red call box and the person’s blue-and-yellow coat and red pants provide splashes of color in an otherwise gray and white scene.

                                              On the bright side, lately I've been doing a lot of informal thinking while shoveling snow. I'm turning over an informal argument grounded on Chaitin incompleteness that if our physical universe has continuous space-time, then we must make non-computable leaps in our theories in order to increase the fidelity of our understanding. "Artificial scientists" running on computers will always have inescapable limits that don't apply to human beings. It's exactly the sort of wacky thing that makes for good shovel thinking: it passes the time, and there might be something in there that's more than passing theoretical fancy.

                                                  Expecting snow to start in a hour or so. Snowblower us gassed up and standing by, shovels and roof rakes are in reach and coffee is brewing.

                                                  Family is requesting French toast so I am heading into the kitchen.

                                                        The areas where NOAA has posted an β€œice storm warning” continue to change. Those areas are dark purple on this map.

                                                        For details from NOAA, including the timing, open the map, click a colored area and follow the link. Since the spot you clicked might have more than one type of weather watch/warning, scroll down in the popup since each type of watch or warning has its own link for the details.

                                                        Good news - The text with details should display in a more user friendly way. If you see a message saying the request for details β€˜timed out’ just try again.

                                                        The pic with text details is for the area around Atlanta, Georgia. Yikes! Maybe an inch of ice. 😟

                                                        NOAA’s servers are very busy so response time might be 20-30 seconds.

                                                                              Ended up shoveling snow twice today. It looks like we might have gotten 6 inches/15 cm of snow in a 5 hour stretch. It was cold enough I developed icicles on my facial hair.

                                                                              The forecast claims we're due for roughly the same amount on Sunday. At least on Sunday we don't need to go anywhere by car and can take our time with the shoveling.
