Apparently newborn + toddler + snow can be a bit too much. I’m sending calming vibes. Peaceful home and a meta I can crack in a reasonable amount of time.

We shall see how this one goes. Got the puzzle done but need to let any pathways ruminate for a bit. Feel I could get drawn into a rabbit hole on this one.
Hope that all of you guys are staying warm and safe!

Whoa baby, not seeing a darn thing yet. We’ve gone down a few wrong paths so far, and are still staring and looking for new inspiration. I feel much better knowing a lot of people are having a hard time with it!
P.S. Lots of love to anyone dealing with the horrors of this tough winter! We’re in CT and it feels like it’s been snowing constantly for weeks, but we’re fortunate to have never lost power. And we don’t have kids (unless you count two miniature dachshunds and a kitten), so major props to parents making it work right now, including Mr. Gaffney!

We used to live in Darien—can’t say I miss the snow in times like these.

Amen. Here in NY we've gotten snow I think 4 weeks in a row. And it feels like it's been below freezing for about 2 months.KDubs wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 6:30 pm Whoa baby, not seeing a darn thing yet.

Whew, somehow made it to the 4th spot on the leaderboard on this one. Think that lots of people will crack it in time.

Don't know yet. Solved the grid. Used my solving techniques and triangulated my answer. Sent it in. I guess I'll have to wait til tomorrow to see the summary judgement on the Leaderboard. Good night for now.

Failed Summary Judgement. I got the WRONG answer. The Overall Leaderboard lists me at #15 with 4 prior correct answers, but This Week's Leaderboard shows only 12 correct responders not including me. I'm still in the "Learning the Ropes" Newbie class. Onward and Upward.

Well, I got last week’s puzzle late (Monday), but was unable to submit due to the snowpocalypse in Houston and resulting power/internet/celllular outage. Hoping to restart my streak this week but these comments are concerning. Hope you are all having a nice weekend.
