The sooner all the snow melts the better. What a lousy weekend. I need things getting back to normal. How I hate winter. The winters seem to be getting worse. The only bright spot is that we needed the precipitation. I wish it had been in the form of rain. Simple rain.
We are finally starting to warm and recover. What a lousy weekend that was. Too much snow. No ice storm and not much sleet but quite a lot of snow. It will take some time for that to melt. Maybe tomorrow we will be above freezing.
So far, no ice, a little sleet, and a little snow. So far, for us, this has not been a big snow or ice event. The live radars I have access to show snow north of us, a narrow band, and clearing to the west. But just as I write this, we are picking up a little sleet. I need to check the radars again. Nice, to have access to such things.
Close to noon here and still above freezing with light wind and very light drizzle. The wind direction keeps changing. Undoubtedly it will be very cold, but predictions for snow, ice, freezing rain vary according to who you listen to. Now it seems as though the worst precipitation will begin a bit south of us. I'd like to think that many of these forecasts are overblown. But this is precisely the sort of weather event I'd hoped to avoid this winter. The winters just seem to get worse and worse.
Those are the looming questions for this weekend, as a system composed of multiple fronts heads our way. I will be prepared, that's for sure. I've already taken steps and will finish my preparations Thursday. Then, on Friday, what we might be facing should be somewhat clearer. Fairly mild weather until then. We might have a few uncomfortable days.
