Good morning, beachy...((HUGS))...boy did we get storms big time. The temps started up on Friday, peaking at my house on Saturday night at 47 degrees! We had really high winds, some getting up to 118 mph gusts, with others getting sustained winds of 40, 50, 60, 70mph. Between the high winds and LOTS of rain starting Saturday evening and continuing thru Sunday afternoon, lots and lots of snow is gone...melted and blown away.

Thankfully the rain stopped, but the wind continued thru Monday and still some BIG gusts thru Tuesday. The good thing about this is that all the main roads got dried out because of the wind and still today they are clean pavement and dry. More winds predicted today and possible snow Thursday. We start winter all over again...more idiot drivers, fender benders, etc. I don’t remember such weather since I’ve been up here.

Good morning, Ma ((HUGS))

wow! boy you did have a rough time. I have one question...

I thought this more idiot drivers, fender benders... was an unheard of event up there where everyone is suppose to be experienced in snow driving. What the heck?
