Sunshine on My Shoulders, Please Melt the Ice Away

Tweet

We woke up to abundant sunshine here in eastern NC this morning, but the temperatures were only in the teens (around -9(C)). You can probably tell from the picture, but the road in front of our house is a ribbon of ice this morning. Since the high for the day is only expected to reach 24(F)/(-4(C)), I don't know how much the ice will melt. There isn't much snow cover on the road so the asphalt should warm up from the sun shining on it most of the day, and that should help some. The worry will be the amount of ice that reforms on the road when the sun goes down and temperature drops to 11(F)/(-12(C)) overnight. I strongly suspect the school district here will have at least a two-hour delay in the morning. It looks like another lazy day at home. We got all the housework done yesterday, so today we can enjoy being home with not much to do. How is your Sunday shaping up?
