Here Comes the Rain

We were really hoping it would not rain but would be snow right away today. That may sound funny to you, however, rain freezes on everything. If you get enough accumulation, the lines start coming down and you find yourself quickly without heat or lights. It can be a life threatening situation.

They have us under a winter storm warning and we are really fed up with them this winter. It has been up and down now for a couple years, both winter and summer. You get a few nice days and then it turns on you and you get bad weather days. We hope the rain will quickly change to snow so we do not get a layer of ice under everything. Getting snow on top of ice is more dangerous than just the snow itself. Many people suddenly find themselves in ditches and accidents. It is not good so hope this rain changes over to snow quickly.

Storm Warning Again

They tell us we are under another winter storm warning. It seems we get one a week at least. Just about the time you think the snow is going to finally disappear, we get a whole new batch. Last night we had freezing rain for just long enough to make everything slippery this morning. It was hard on people going to work as you want to stay out of the ditches.

It is only about 20 plus days till the first day of Spring but I bet we will see snow storms all through March. Every time there is a State wrestling meet or the girls and boys basketball tournaments, there is a snow storm. You can set your calendar by it. We had a terrific blizzard Saturday, the last day of wrestling tournaments and hopefully, everyone got home safely. Most people plan to stay overnight in the capital city and that is a good idea in this weather. Today it is over 40 and snow is melting but that is all going to change tonight and temperatures are going to dip again once more. Spring - where are you?
