The snow is very pretty! It is DEEP and WHITE and THICK and YOFI. Nice nice nice. So we had a snow day and stayed home (instead of teaching and going out to do the taxes); I wrote half a column of Megillah, finishing the column I started on Thursday. I'd normally expect to do more than half a column a day, but sometimes other things get in the way - last week it was tefillin checking eating up time, for eg.
Mar Gavriel came over for a quill-cutting and letter-forming lesson. It's nice to talk shop with someone who knows how to learn halacha - most of the halachically-minded people I know aren't into sofrut, and most of the sofrut-minded people I know aren't into learning.
Tomorrow I'm going out to Westchester to work on a Torah. The snow ought to be interesting - it's a half-hour walk from the station to the shul in good weather, what it'll be like in fifteen inches of snow is yet to be seen. But I like snow, and we haven't had much yet this year.
