The snow, cold and wind started a week ago Thursday, so 8 days. It kept most individuals indoors at home. Our street got plowed yesterday so I no longer have to drive through ice ruts the quarter mile to the highway. There still is black asphalt not that white stuff!! Today it got up to 42o. The sun was bright and almost no wind. Beautiful day.
Two days ago they discovered that the data used last week to determine that we had to remain in Covid Phase 1 was reported incorrectly. We really should have been moved up to Phase 2. So now all businesses, churches, movie theaters, etc can operate at 25% normal occupancy. Restaurants are at 25% indoor dining, six individuals to a table. Masks still required.
So our meet-up group decided to go out for breakfast today. We had ten individuals show up, two tables separated but within talking distance. A couple that are still scared of Covid did not join us. It was great seeing individuals in person again and not over Zoom. Lots of catching up on life. We spent almost two hours there.
Was surprised at the traffic out on the streets. The parking lot in the shopping area with two restaurants was jammed like it might be just before Christmas. Lots of people were out and about enjoying our new freedom.

A nice weather day and newly released from confinement = lots of people out and about. Glad to hear that you got to meet with friends.
I bet if the weather had been bad, the folks still would have been out! The human spirit rises above discomfort!
