Snow and orchid update! We got about 18 inches and it's still snowing. Dug out my car while being harassed by an insane prostitute. Called the cops. Baby orchid is looking good. Dumpster orchid is getting ready to bloom. You can see the buds here.

Ice storm has started so we've broken out a new puzzle. Only 500 pieces, so hopefully it lasts through the whole storm.
