This Weeks Update [2/21/16] - First Big Snow

[The Weekly Update is an email that was started in the fall of 2010 to keep family and friends informed of my medical condition and has continued as a review of family activities.  Written by Zelma and edited by Steve. Working on adding past issues to the blog.]


Hi All,

This week marked the first big snow of the year.  I think we had close to 18 inches at our house.  

The storm got into full gear before morning commute on Tuesday and the plows spent the rest of the day trying to catch up.  After 30 mins on the road and progressing about 5 miles, I managed to turn around and come home. Lots of people were stranded on expressways for several hours.  The weather continues to be fickle and (fortunately) the last 2 days have had temps in the 40's so much of the snow has melted.

Steve had his regular check up with his surgeon on Thursday and things continue to be good from Dr. Coniglio's perspective. [Also extended the next visit from 6 to 9 months.]  Next check in is with the oncologist at the end of March [following a scan].

Unless we are foiled by the weather, we are planning to head to see Mike, Sarah, and Olivia later in the week.

Miles for the week are 75, miles for 2016 are 523, and total miles are 16,087.
