Greetings, gang.
The blizzard is over and a lot of snow was moved yesterday. Wound up with about 6 inches of rather wet snow which made it more difficult to move. Another storm moves in tonight and tomorrow with a predicted accumulation of 3-7 inches. Temperatures are predicted to be in the teens and low 20s overnight with highs in the 30s during the day. Then a big warmup arrives over the weekend with highs in the 50s again for next week. Should be a rapid snow melt which is not necessarily a good thing with the ground still frozen. Could lead to some flooding.
My only activity yesterday (other than running the snow blower multiple times) was a quick trip to the gas station when I ran out of gas for the snow blower. Fully stocked now and ready for the next round of snow. This morning I'll be waiting for the arrival of the plumber. Weather conditions were so bad yesterday that I called the plumber and told him to wait until today. I t was too dangerous to be out and about. In addition it would have been difficult to even get to my house until after the snow plow had been through.
Speaking of gas stations ( I was! See previous paragraph. Come on class. keep up with me) the station that raised prices yesterday to $3.19 apparently jumped the gun as they have lowered the price back to $2.79 to be in line with the other stations around town.
Mikey - I wish we could have received the snow as rain instead!
All stay safe.
