We had steady snow and deteriorating roads Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning. No wind, then blowing and drifting yesterday. I Knew that our town's streets wouldn't get plowed, so we elected to stay home yesterday. Had to drag a limb from a pine tree north of the house that had snapped off, so we used the tractor. Always new things to learn, such as how you can lose traction when there is ice underneath the snow. Still, we got the job done. Wind chills yesterday afternoon were about 10-20 degrees below zero. -4 air temperature this morning, but it will be calm and 19 degrees by mid afternoon. Wish I could have stopped to take some pictures of both a pond and a stream that had frozen over then snowed on and glittered with ice crystals. I am afraid those scenes will be gone this afternoon.
Too cold to cry about it.
I sooo do not miss that at all. My thoughts this afternoon were cast upon the fescue grass and how it needs cutting this weekend!We had steady snow and deteriorating roads Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning.
