Today we finally made it into the low 30’s for a high temperature. We had sunny skies this morning but clouds have moved in this afternoon. We could get a mix of snow and rain tonight into tomorrow but hopefully not any additional accumulation.
I had 8 inches here with most of the snow fall ending late Saturday night. The gusty winds blew most of that off the driveway except for the 12 or so inches that accumulated in front of the garage doors. Yesterday I shoveled a path behind my door and one at the end of the driveway from the piles created by the plowing. Today I shoved about three feet that had blow onto the front porch.
Main roads are mostly clear but side roads, etc. are still covered. So, another day at home. Perhaps things will start melting out tomorrow.
The highest temperature for the past two weeks has been 26 degrees. We’ve had snow with a significant ice event to follow that still have some folks iced in. As of right now we are at 16 degrees with at least 5 inches of snow and still falling. Behind this front will be a wind event with 40 plus mph winds and chill factors in the minus 0’s.
Joyce did open the store Thursday with a few customers and Pat and I had a few yesterday. The snow plow has been down my road once already. I am sure once Colt can get out he will come and dig out my driveway again.
We are still in a deep freeze so to speak. Temperatures at night in the single digits and teens to mid 20’s for daytime highs. The ice that feel on top of the inches of snow has a lot folks still iced in if they live on private roads or have iced over driveways. This stuff will not be going away anytime soon.
Almost all the main and side roads are clear and dry thanks to a wonderful job by the DOT and county. The town however did not touch the sidewalks so they are a mess as are private parking lots.
We did open the store today but just a couple of customers and no sales. But, we had a small donation plus did some store stuff that needed doing. We also wanted to check on the store to make sure we did not have any frozen pipes or leaks which we did not.
