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.<br><br>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.<br><br><a href="/tags/maine/" rel="tag">#maine</a> <a href="/tags/snowstorm/" rel="tag">#snowstorm</a> <a href="/tags/snow/" rel="tag">#snow</a><br>

<p>Falling Softly - a beautiful evening at Twin Lakes here in the Pocono Mountains. The silent landscape and the magic of snow falling on the frozen lake. ❤️ ❤️ </p><p><a href="https://renata-natale.pixels.com/featured/falling-softly-renata-natale.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="renata-natale.pixels.com/featured/falling-softly-renata-natale.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">renata-natale.pixels.com/featu</span><span class="invisible">red/falling-softly-renata-natale.html</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/winterlandscape/" rel="tag">#winterlandscape</a> <a href="/tags/photography/" rel="tag">#Photography</a> <a href="/tags/buyintoart/" rel="tag">#buyintoart</a> <a href="/tags/fediart/" rel="tag">#fediart</a> <a href="/tags/mastoart/" rel="tag">#MastoArt</a> <a href="/tags/winter/" rel="tag">#winter</a> <a href="/tags/silence/" rel="tag">#silence</a> <a href="/tags/snowfalling/" rel="tag">#snowfalling</a> <a href="/tags/snowstorm/" rel="tag">#snowstorm</a> <a href="/tags/twinlakes/" rel="tag">#twinlakes</a> <a href="/tags/poconomountains/" rel="tag">#poconomountains</a></p>
<p>A favorite photo of mine taken in a snowstorm and couldn't see a thing. So I just let all the rules go and shot it the way it was.

We had a bit of snow over the weekend (roughly a foot? on top of what was already down), and then two days of winds gusting as high as 25 mph (guess). The snow pack is blue-ish and topped with waves. It's reached the point where we'll need to use snow shoes to walk in it.<br><br><a href="/tags/maine/" rel="tag">#maine</a> <a href="/tags/winter/" rel="tag">#winter</a> <a href="/tags/snowstorm/" rel="tag">#snowstorm</a> <a href="/tags/snow/" rel="tag">#snow</a><br>
Looks like the snow has started here. If we do end up with the 12-18 inches the advisories have been warning about, it'll be a mess.<br><br>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.<br><br><a href="/tags/maine/" rel="tag">#maine</a> <a href="/tags/winter/" rel="tag">#winter</a> <a href="/tags/weather/" rel="tag">#weather</a> <a href="/tags/advisory/" rel="tag">#advisory</a> <a href="/tags/snowstorm/" rel="tag">#SnowStorm</a><br>
