Actual snow today

Today we had snow and it stayed and thank you Kwtracey because I didn’t have to go into the office today. I didn’t want to have to, and certainly not at that hour, and thanks to the snow I got to telework like I do every other day. 

This is good because the snow plow company plowed snow in front of my driveway. 

Harumph. 

And thank you for the feedback on the didactic. 

France will give Ukraine a new batch of long-range cruise missiles and hundreds of bombs. Macron said Europe must not let Russia win because it would mean accepting that international law will not be respected. 
Russia offered over 100,000 convicts presidential pardons for six months of fighting. 
The US Treasury announced last month that it would impose secondary sanctions on overseas financial firms and banks helping Russia's war effort in Ukraine and processing Russia's transactions to buy equipment for its military. Now China's state-owned banks are curbing funding to Russian clients.
