Snow

We hadn't had any snow this winter in my town. There had been plenty of cold days, but none of the white stuff. Usually, my town gets a snowfall or two every year, but I figured we weren't getting any this year.

The trees in my yard were budding, I'd begun getting bird shit on my car, and the other night I heard crickets chirping. I figured that spring was here, despite it being February.

Winter wasn't quite done yet. Late this afternoon, it began to snow, and I don't mean flurries, either. It fell for a few hours, quickly accumulating, accompanied by thunder and lightning at times -- thundersnow! Unfortunately, because we get so little snow, our town isn't equipped to prepare the roads for safe driving in snow. I had to run out to get some cat food, and I had to slip and slide my way down to the store. Fortunate few cars were out and about, though I passed an SUV who'd gotten stuck.

As of this writing, at around 1030 pm, we're expecting another wave of snow to last until morning, and we're supposed to get about 5 inches or so by then.

It's supposed to get up into the mid-40s tomorrow, so the snow will be gone by this time tomorrow. It was nice to see, even if a bit late in the season. Too bad it didn't come on Christmas Eve.

Hmmm...well, as of this writing, 11:55 am, it's snowing. The weather guy said last night on the news that we should expect it, indeed he talked about 5 or so inches.
He also said that it may last through tomorrow. But the New England states are supposed to get it worse than us, they can have it!

We've had a very light winter this season....especially compared to last year.

I guess the snow would be fun if you didn't get it starting mid-November and have to be stuck with it until early April!....I'm so sick of snow already!

Stay safe!

I got a foot of snow out of that same storm and now it's -1 outside. I am soooo done with winter.
