\"\"It\u2019s snowing again. Fourth time in the last two weeks. This one isn\u2019t supposed to amount to anything, just a few flurries. I hope that\u2019s right. We don\u2019t need anymore. Weekend before last we got three inches of mostly sleet, some of which is still on the ground. (Nicely compacted into treacherous sheets of ice!) Sleet was actually a blessing, though. It could\u2019ve been freezing rain and brought down trees and power lines. But sleet bounces off, so we dodged that bullet.<\/p>\n

It has stayed cold, with several days not getting above freezing, so some ice was still around when ten inches of snow fell this past weekend. Fortunately, it did warm up a little by Tuesday, but it wasn\u2019t until yesterday (Wednesday) that we deemed it safe enough to take the car out.<\/p>\n

Last night we had another dusting of snow and today it\u2019s snowing again. It\u2019s also so cold that the slush has refrozen and nothing will be melting today. Tomorrow might be a little better. I\u2019m really tired of it.<\/p>\n
