Middle of a Snow Storm - Blog 365
Good Wednesday Morning. It is certainly winter time this morning as I write this. We are in the middle of a snowstorm. We have been expecting this as the news has predicted a winter storm warning for several days now. We are expected to get around 8-9 inches of the white stuff and it looks as though it will be a very wet snow.
A wet snow is more dangerous as it can be very heavy and take down trees, power lines, etc. It can also compact and freeze much more than a dry snow will. It can make the roads more of a hazard as well. I believe that it's going to start a line of snow coming into the area as there is more snow predicted for next week. Our temperatures are supposed to hover around freezing today. By Saturday, which is the day that I am supposed to make the 2 hour drive home, we are to be at about 41 degrees with rain. Our weather has been crazy this year and continues to be the same way.
Many schools made the decision to close today. My grand doll knew later yesterday afternoon that she was having a snow day today! I remember the joy that used to bring as I knew that meant that we got to play outside, build a snowman and all that fun. We used to love to sled! Kids do not seem to do that as much these days and they have no idea as to the fun they are missing.
I hope whatever your weather is that you are in a safe place, a warm place with much love around you. Have a great day!
That's right, the kids don't really enjoy the snow as much as we did when we were kids, but the snow still has its charms.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with you, have a kind winter day and stay safe.
Hope you stay safe and enjoy your snow day!
ReplyDeleteWe had our snow yesterday. Today there's still snow on the ground but most has melted. Our temps are still pretty cold at the moment, so there's a lot of ice out. Definitely a day to stay home and avoid the slippery ice.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! There was snow in Texas but not here at our house last night! Dallas got some huge flakes and North of us had quite a bit accumulations but nothing like YOU get!! It's cold but not freezing and we are about to eat lunch and watch a movie in our warm den - I turned the heater on!!
ReplyDeleteSchools were closed here, too. But all we got was a bit of sleet.
