It turns out that we did survive the snowstorm. Rumor has is that we got 4" sleet and 4" of snow. Shoveling it was very hard as evidenced by my broken shovel. It can't be replaced at the moment because there is a midwest-wide shovel shortage. Too bad because there is another 4" of new snow this morning.
I hope that you didn't mind the cliffhanger ending to the previous post. Here is the big reveal. Clara basks in the glory of Baby Blue Bicycle's baby blue bicycle:
And here's the profile view:
Jill's Trek, once darkish blue (see top picture), then baby blue (see right panel), then orange (hmmm, maybe in the annals) is now baby blue. Don of Creative Dust Powder Coating in nearby Villa Grove did a great job. The cost was $150 including stripping the orange, and he personally delivered it 9 days after receiving it.Jill won't be riding it until at least a few weeks after the new baby comes, which is just as well given this very white winter.

It's beautiful! Have I ever ridden this bike in any of its former colors?

It is beautiful. I think it looks even better in real life.
Hmmmm, you might have ridden it at some point (we've had it since 2003). In any case, you'll have to give it a try next time you're in town.
