My company had a holiday yesterday. Snowed a little yesterday afternoon, and I spent the day inside at that point. Turned into something like freezing rain at night, didn't bother checking, didn't really care.

It must be reasonably bad out there, since my company called for a 2 hour delayed opening this morning. Either the lots at work need plowing, schools are delayed or something. Either way, I'll stay in today and work from home. Cindy's office was open, they almost never close.

 

The Civic is FWD, but it is such a light car that the back end was floating on top of the snow. We do have excellent snow removal here, but it must be coming down at greater than an inch per hour right now. Add to that, all the people on the roads right now trying to get to work, and the plows can't keep up. If it keeps snowing like this, it won't be much better at the end of the day.

 

The weekend was minus 9 and today it is in the 50s here. We had some snow last night and then rain this morning. I hope all that nasty slush in my driveway melts away today. It sure would stink if it turned into ice!!

 

We received 3 or 4 inches of snow overnight which has changed over to rain this morning. I'd swear between 7 to 8:30 this morning the temperature rose 15 degrees. We are expecting heavy rains this afternoon. Shoveling this stuff is like shoveling cement but hey I'm at least burning away some calories.

 

My wife's place of work sent her home at 1:30.

My place of work plowed an unused part of our parking lot and suggested we move our cars to make it easier to leave at our normal quitting time. Like I'm going to get all bundled up, walk out to the parking lot, take a 1/2 hour to clear my car off and move further out in the parking lot so I can come back in to work.

Don't know what my wife is going to do when she gets home. No way she is getting the car down an un-plowed 500' driveway with 20" of snow in it.

 

We had 4 inches of snow on the ground and it is almost gone the rain is washing it away I'm seeing grass again. It's hard to believe that I am on a ski mountain in Vermont in February.

 

We got 1-2" last night which was capped off with a solid glaze of ice.
Rather sloppy clean up. I have to admit I got rather cavalier in the snow this morning and got a surprise moment.
Downhill to uphill, sweeping left hander with camber inside to out, even with snow tires,
I suddenly fond myself pushing to the outside of the curve.
The outer side snow bank was a nice little carom block and kept me going where I wanted. Doooh!!!


Currently 51°, so 66° from where we where just 2 days ago.

 

Sun is out...doesn't look like anything happened here.

 

People are still skiing/snowboarding in this crap parking lots have been full up here all day.

 

6 inches on Monday gone today. 60's over the weekend. El Nino again.
