Hello, everyone! I hope you are all doing well. We have certainly had a strange winter with the temps up and down. It gets cold then the temps go up into the upper 60’s and even the 70’s. It seems like spring is here then winter comes back. It snowed a little yesterday off and on but the roads were fine. Then I got up this morning and looked out the front window and saw A LOT more “S”…
I measured the “S” on a plant table on the back porch and it was 9″ deep… I have been feeding a friend’s cows and I have to drive up a long hill to get to his house. I called him this morning and said I didn’t think I could make it up the hill. He said he had 11″ but he cleared off his drive and it was already melting.
The thermometer on the back porch was in the sun when I took the photo at about 9:30 AM… I think it was actually 21° F. It will warm up to about 30 by noon…
I have been doing another friend’s chores farther out of town on a back road but I can’t get there today. He fell about a month ago and dislocated his shoulder and has a lot of bone fragments. The surgeon said he is going to try to repair it rather than do a replacement… The road to his house drifts pretty bad and likely the county won’t grade the road…
The good news is that spring officially arrives on March 20… We have to remind “whoever” is in charge of the weather so maybe we won’t have anymore “S” and the temperatures will stay warm. Just a thought. 🙂
Until next time… Stay warm, be safe, stay positive, and always be thankful…
You got more than we did in KC. Probably close to 4”.

Hello, Jim! The “S” wasn’t as bad as it looked. The roads in town and highways melted off pretty quickly. Glad to hear you didn’t get much. Take care and thanks for the comment!

Stay safe and warm, Lonnie. Broken bones hurt in winter weather…

Hello, Kate! I am staying warm as long as I am inside. I have a heavy coat when I am outside in the cold. I haven’t had any issues getting around and a broken bone isn’t an experience I would like. Take care and thanks for the comment!

Stay Safe. Snow is lovely until you have to drive in it!

Hello, Linda! I have driven in plenty of snow to last a lifetime. Heck, I said that almost 40 years ago. 🙂 I’m sure you get your share as well. Take care and thanks for the comment!

No snow here, but maybe the low 30s tonight. We’re ready to be done with it, and I’m sure you are, too!

Hello, Linda! Glad to hear you didn’t have snow (unless you want some). The forecast changed somewhat for the night… Now it is going to get down to -6. What’s a degree or two when it is that cold? 🙂 Take care and thanks for the comment!
