God Bless Our Troops.
Being separated from family
is the hardest part of service,
but they do it to keep us safe and free!

Hi Kathy, no more snow but the existing snow is VERY slowly melting, a bit of warming this week is welcome.
Enjoy your new snow!

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...you and Penny staying warm after your short jaunts outside? Shovel carefully if you must.
Don’t forget spikies if you have ice. I finally got 90% of the ice off my deck and nows it’s getting covered in snow.

Good...all your snow is gone...but now you have to contend with freezing rain and sleet. Yuck!! Stay safe if you must go out.
My deck now has a couple inches, so I’ll shovel it before I go to bed.

Most of the snow was gone yesterday. A few spots that get no sun still had little piles. All gone today though.
Hubby poked his head in a little earlier and mentioned a couple of things we were out of that I’d overlooked sooooooo I had to head out to get them. It’s been raining harder than I realized and the roads are awash. Even if we don’t get freezing rain or sleet, there’s going to be a glaze of ice. Dang it! There was someplace I planned to go tomorrow and I won’t get to go.
It’s still spitting snow at the airport. It was coming down hard for a while this morning and early afternoon. Pretty to watch since it wasn’t HERE. LOL

Hey there, radu!
It sure has! When I went to bible class this afternoon at 5pm, it was warm enough for a 3/4-length sleeve t-shirt and when we left an hour later, it was 50 windy degrees and I wished I had a jacket!
Now it’s 35 degrees...just about the high for tomorrow. How quickly things change. I’m thinking you’re about to find out just how fast it’s coming down. Brrrr!

Sounds like this front is making a deep dive. You’ll only be a couple of degrees warmer than we will tomorrow.
It was a nice 61 degrees here today but has dropped to 41 at the moment. Supposed to be in the low 20s by morning with a high around freezing. Might get into the low 40s Sunday.

Did Gizmo have a good time with his BFF Ringo?
Did you manage to get out to the lake before the weather turned cold?

We'll see how things go today. It's supposed to be 32 today. Tomorrow we are forecast to reach 41 and then it warms up from there this weekend.
