Snow, It is the real stuff

It is actually snowing here. It started an hour or so ago but was melting as it hit the ground. It is in the low 40's here. But now it is starting to stick. Our weather channel said we were to get light rain. That's the funniest rain I have ever seen. At least it is moisture. I messed up and didn't run some errands today. I figured I would wait until tomorrow and add more errands to the list. Oh well, it is what it is. No matter what I will have to go tomorrow or Sunday.

I hope you don’t have any problems getting out. We’re having some precipitation, and it is 26 F (wind chill 7 F) here, but the snow hasn’t started in my city yet. We’re expecting 10 inches today and into Sunday night.

@velvet53 I hope you don’t either. As long as we don’t have a bunch of ice I’ll be okay with it. The stupid ice is what causes all the power outages. About 8 years ago our power was out for four days because of an ice storm.

@AmbiePam That's a long time. I had it happen to me years ago and remember how awful it was. I am not fond of the ice either.

Thank you, Lenore. Oh, tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich sounds good.

Me too. I never used to mind driving in winter weather but that has changed over the years.

@wolfgirl569 That is the way I am. They are crazy here in summer weather but when we get snow people get weird.

I hope you're able to get those errands done safely. The roads could be horrendous.

Better to be safe than sorry running errands when the roads are slippery with snow.

We're getting sleet under the snow. I hope the roads are clear for your errands tomorrow.

It is hard to say what is going to happen. We still have a few months of winter left and anything could happen.

Our weather this year is all over. We are in a cold advisory tonight. I sure feel it in this trailer. It's nothing like what others are going through. I was in below zero in my trailer during January of 2024 and it was miserable.
