SNOWMAGEDDON!

Yep! That's what they're calling it this weekend!

It took until last Thursday for the schools to reopen and things get back to a somewhat normal condition. It remained cold here all week. Then on Friday there was some rain, that turned to snow as it got even colder. Then it turned back to cold, icy rain and rained all night and into this morning when it turned back to snow. It has snowed pretty much all day. With falling night-time temperatures, the roads are icing up. There has been no place for any of the water to go because of all the rain we've had in this area. The standing water is freezing and being covered by snow. Broken bones waiting to happen. The snow is supposed to stop tonight sometime.

People closer to the water have another problem --- tidal flooding. Higher water levels because of the huge amounts of rain combined with hurricane force winds thirty miles off the coast are making tides higher than normal.

I AM SOOOO READY FOR SPRING! BRING ON THE SUNSHINE AND WARM WEATHER!

Golfer and I are safe and staying in. We've caught up on some recorded TV shows and I did some laundry and other cleaning. We've surfed around on the computers. I finished a good book.

So that's it for excitement around here. I hope you're all well and happy! Stay safe!
