It’s up to 44° right now which is a big surprise - forecast showed 30’s this week. I got mom from the house to the car & back yesterday, but it was a dangerous proposition. The snowcrete crust still holds our weight & we don’t break through, but the sleet pellets on top, that made for a somewhat grippy surface, have melted just enough to be a smooth glaze. My boots were mostly gripping yesterday, but today they are slipping. Mom’s were totally slipping yesterday - her boots are waterproof but more ‘dress’ boots while mine are for hunting/fishing.

I just went out to see if the crust has maybe softened enough to chop a path, but my snow shovel just bounces off. I think I am going to have to get my Pulaski & chop my way through which will be very hard work.

The sun is out right now & it’s beautiful, but this ‘snowcrete ‘ situation is depressing - we’re into week 2 dealing with it. Any melting will refreeze tonight, too. We are supposed to get snow this evening: trace to 2”.
