This is my district and it's going to be really interesting to see who wins the primary. Early voting starts February 12.

Good morning! ❄️ Looks like I got a couple of inches. It’s beautiful and there are some interesting tracks in the driveway.
It’s light dry fluffy snow. I just cleared it all off the porch with the leaf blower. Fast and easy!
