The Snow Melts Slowly

 More sun today and warmer temps will help the process. I got the car out of the garage yesterday to get some things I ran low on during the siege and put a few miles on it to charge the battery-- cautious miles. I'll try more today, and yet more tomorrow. Winter sucks. 




I will be happy to return to my normal routines. Everything has been disrupted since last week, Friday.

More Sun Still warming

 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.

Sunshine!

 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. 





My preparations were adequate.

Very Cold

 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. 





We still have Sunday and Monday morning to get through. I'd sure like to be in Hawaii right now!

Still Unclear

 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. 







Saturday and Sunday will be uncomfortable and Monday morning will be very cold. After that, cold but not so extreme. No real relief until early next month.
