God gave us a little sunshine after the big storm. Now those of you in the Midwest (and you know who you are) usually experience clear skies after a big storm. Here, it's a different. It usually stays cloudy but clouds of a different nature than the storm clouds.
Like Ernie Banks, I love "God's own sunshine." Most of the driveway is melted down to the pavement (the $75 to have it plowed was worth every penny) and the sidewalk has been dry since Saturday afternoon. This photo was taken this afternoon, but Saturday afternoon was exactly the same weather.
Most of the kids' events have been cancelled or postponed. There is so much snow to move, the crews have been overwhelmed. I had a client meeting this morning and the usual 30 minute drive was 50 instead. There are large washboard-like patches of compacted ice and snow on the freeways. One of the old country roads turned arterial near our house has been closed since Friday night. Several trees fell from the hill above onto the road and others are hanging over the edge ready to fall at the slightest breeze.
Now get ready for the next one. The prediction is for another storm starting tomorrow at noon with 10 inches in store. Let's hope we don't wake up Wednesday for a repeat of this photo from Saturday of our front porch.
