For several days last week, we received daily weather alerts about the big snowstorm that was supposed to hit our area and dump 20" of snow on my neck of the woods.
It was supposed to start snowing during the night on Saturday, and I looked forward to waking up to the sight of a winter wonderland. Not so.
When I looked out my window in the morning, there was a good amount of snow on the ground, but not a trace of it on any of the trees.
The snowplow had made several treks around the parking lot during the night, but at some point the snow had become mixed with sleet so it looked like an icy mess. And yet there wasn't a trace of ice on the trees either.
I thought for sure I would be prisoner of my home for several days at least, since I am really paranoid about slipping and falling on ice. But maybe not. Even though the temperature was very cold, the sun's rays were strong and melted most of the ice on the road and sidewalks.
Well still...be very careful!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I agree with Ginny. Please be careful.
ReplyDeleteBom dia, Sandra
ReplyDeleteAinda bem que os raios do sol derreteram a maior parte do gelo nas ruas e nas calçadas. Cuidado quando for sair. Um forte abraço.
I'm glad the ice melted on the walks. It really can be so dangerous.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, we are in the middle of another bad storm. 9 inches of snow overnight and all the schools are closed again. I'm more than ready for Spring.
It seems you faired better than a lot of people in your neck of the woods. Just be careful and son't slip on the hidden ice.

I totally agree with you. I thought we would be iced in a month. One time we are not going to believe what the weathermen say - and then we will be snowed in.
ReplyDeleteHope you can get in my post today!
Watch your step if you get out, sometimes you can't see the ice until you're right on it. Have a good day and stay warm.
