we are predicted to get 6-8 inches of snow tomorrow night. I just hope
the 60mph winds don't come with it again. Last night you couldn't see
past the front hood with all the snow blowing around. It was so bad that
the cops gave up, even on the expressways. They left 30 plus cars in the
ditches and just took the people to the station and closed the road down
till the morning by me. Other rural routes, if the car wasn't stuck in
the roadway making it a hazzard... they just left them too after
evacuating the people. Of course, I am out in the sticks, the city areas
where handled differently.

 We are bracing ourselves for round two of the systems. Had the drop
you describe, a dusting of snow, then a rise in temperatures.
Tomorrow, 2 - 4 inches of snow is predicted. Don't you just love
winter in the midwest???

Well now.... is everyone surviving the weather? It seems every area of
the country is having some weather issue within the last few days.


Here it was a warm morning.... Actually 48 degrees when I went to
work.
Nice spring like breeze.... then the rain came. Melted the snow but of
course puddles everywhere cause the ground is frozen.


Late this afternoon, it started getting really windy and the temps are
dropping fast. I am glad it got here later than projected- at least I
only had to drive in the rain and wind.... not the wind and ice/snow.


By morning it will be minus 20 wind chill with 50mph gust... isn't
that
just peachy. NOT..... the wind is already peaking at that, sounds like
the house is gonna blow away.....


Sigh.
