January 28, 2009It was hard to put into words what fell from the sky today. First it was freezing rain, then maybe just plain rain, then maybe some sleet, then some big-time sugar snowflakes.
Snow is fun. But this … umm … stuff … isn’t. It left the roads a mess.

The road crews tried to stay ahead of it. I know … because I heard the plows pass my bedroom window multiple times in the middle of the night. They woke me up a couple of times, which was a good thing. Turns out, the power had gone out.

As I walked outside to take pictures this afternoon, I heard a deadening thump, looked up, and saw the driver of the SUV safely parked at the stop sign about a block away get out of his vehicle to talk things over with the driver of the other SUV who slid into him trying to stop. Looked like it was a minor thing. Par for the course for the day.

But, you do have to admit, if you didn’t have to drive anywhere today, it was kind of pretty out there.


Looks a lot like my streets, too.
I heard a forecast the other day for “freezing fog.” What the heck is THAT all about?
