My calendar says that Daylight Saving Time begins in two weeks.  Meanwhile, I look for brightness at the end of the day.

As our landscape has gone from crisp frozen white to gray, brown, rust, charcoal, dripping with rain and the slush that gets over the edge of your shoes, leaving you with wet socks, and more freezing rain in the forecast… I look inside the house for something brighter.

In Pittsburgh, we don’t get two-plus feet of snow in 24 hours – but that happened two weeks ago. And some people knew what they should do… (via @woycheck and @schulman)

More snow expected overnight.  It is February in Pittsburgh, after all.

From Friday evening through Saturday afternoon, we had steady, heavy, snowfall in Pittsburgh. By the time it stopped, 21 inches had fallen.  (Another storm is expected tomorrow, with 6 – 10 inches more.)  Our street is still unplowed, buses are infrequent and delayed, and we are walking a lot.  Plenty of time to look up, look around, enjoy the changed landscape.

I’d forgotten all about asparagus ferns until I saw one in the window of Big Dog Coffee, on Sarah Street in the South Side of Pittsburgh.

From the South Side of Pittsburgh, you can cross the Monongahela River in lots of places – the 10th Street Bridge will let you walk to downtown.
