First snowfall on Peace Mountain, 2017
Credit for the name of the mountain where we live goes to my girlfriend; I named the house — “Winterfell.” I’m naming a lot of things after “Game of Thrones” this winter. (Because it is “Coming.”) Remember I shared a picture of the vestigial remains of shack, in which only a strewn roof was still intact? That I dubbed “Craster’s Keep.” And I am starting to think of Lynchburg as “King’s Landing.”
This was only the initial powdering last Friday — of course the snow became much heavier that night.

Seriously, I could go either way.
Judging from the things pushed or upended, there is either an angry ghost in our attic or the cats are flying into a goddam nightly roid rage while we sleep.
I’m not sure which scenario is more disturbing.
Then again, I’m not sure which scenario is more disturbingly awesome.
