We got about three inches of heavy wet snow yesterday.  Everything was cancelled around here.  Now I'm way behind in my work. 

Wall to wall today with doctor's appointments and errands to run.  Dang weather...I can't wait until it warms up again.  :rant:

Warm is relative.  January in NH, 40 is warm.  Meh.  I'll do my usual chipping of the driveway come March or so, and until then, just throw down some sand after I blow out the driveway as best I can.

After over 7.5 inches of rain between Sunday evening and yesterday morning...horrendous downpours most of morning and early afternoon ... the rain switched to super heavy snow.  :thatsright:

We got about 3-4" at my house, but it was really weird. Very inconsistent all over town. Went to work at 8, where only about half showed up. Worked until 6am because I was hoping it would be safer than at 4. Took soaking my car key in hot water to get the car door unlocked, along with that antifreeze spray stuff and pouring hot water along the door seam. There were 4 of us trying to get into our cars at the same time. Parking lot was solid ice. It was like a bad comedy routine. Made it home ok going a different way with more level roads. Took a running charge up the drive and slid into a flat park....then very carefully made it across the ice rink formerly known as my driveway.

Sun is shining  :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: supposed to get to 44 and melt the ice.

I"m going to bed.  :yahoo:

Outside of about 10 minutes last Saturday afternoon, we haven't seen sun in what seems like forever!!

All the counties around us closed schools today. Not for snow or ice, but because of the rain. As of the 6pm news last night we had had 5.5 inches of rain since Sunday night. It was still raining at the time. It rained from steady to hard all night. It's not raining now and hasn't for a couple of hours but is supposed to start back up at any time. Turning to snow tomorrow - maybe.

TVA has stopped river traffic due to the water levels and currents.



it's raining again...  need to go work on the ark.

I am so going to come to your house one day  :naughty:

I loved to take long morning walks until I broke my ankle and it never healed back right. I use my Nordic track bike now.  When the weather warms up again...I can take my morning swim in the pool.  This weather just sucks and I can't wait until Spring gets here...counting down the days.

Got super foggy last night, but it's burning off, and there's this weird light out..... sunlight!!!!!  :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Snow still around in spots, supposedly some roads in the county are still really icy. Rooftops in the neighborhood are still snow covered. Going to be in mid50's today! Might melt the snow, but it's going to take a month to dry out the ground. Last night's news said we had over 8 inches of rain between Sunday evening and the snow started. That means almost 3 inches of rain fell on Thursday morning - early afternoon. Might take more than a month to dry out....   :whatever:

Just think about how beautiful your flowers will be in the Spring with all of that rain.  We have the same mushy, dismal stuff here too.  The sun is trying to pop out though.  About three more months and I'll be sitting on my back deck baking in the sun again, four months and I can open the pool...can't wait.

High 30's/low 40's today and tomorrow, and then the freeze commences.

Highs here Tue-Thu in the single digits, lows approaching -10, wind chills hitting -20.

Then again, I showed Scoobie the weather for Pittsburg (our pipe dream retirement town) and it's going to be -10.

FOR THEIR HIGH temp.  -30 at night.

And then, of course, is Mount Washington.  High Wednesday?  -25.  Low of -30.  Wind chills approaching -60.

Now think--there are PEOPLE up there as we speak.

I was turning on the SF/ATL game and couldn't find Scoobie--look outside, and there she is, scooping the slush out of the driveway, sore shoulder and all, damn her stubbornness.

But it was warm enough doing the entire driveway wasn't terribly difficult, and here we sit, waiting for the arctic blast to arrive.

10o  F here, some snow (~2"), the first of this winter, but MAYBE enough for me to plow my neighbor's driveway and make some ca$h.

Well, that depends if you've got a tuxedo or not.

Gotta tux? If so, you just may be a penguin.  :-)

It's climbed all the way up to 6oF. And my neighbor wanted me to plow his driveway, so that's $25 in my pocket.

I also did our 600'+ driveway.

Sun's out!! Again!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Super cold - for us - is coming in tonight. Supposed to be 18 tonight and 14 tomorrow night.  :brrr:

Wind is blowing now, but don't know if it's supposed to continue. It's 44 right now with a chill of 37.

No rain/snow in forecast until Friday, and they haven't yet decided which it will be.....the weather people like to keep their options open.  :whistling:
