Well, parts of the state got about 6 inches of snow, but at my house we have about 4 inches and it is already melting.Of course, all the schools are closed in the interest of safe driving by school bus drivers who have to go up the treacherous mountain roads covered with snow and ice.

The snow was very dry and not the kind that makes a good snowball or snowman, but seems to be good for sledding. I have seen some neighborhood kids dragging sleds behind them as they walk down the road toward the farm. The snow  would have blown about if there had been any wind. Thankfully, we didn’t have much wind and there are not large drifts anywhere that I can see.

We just have to let the sun do its job and melt this damn stuff. I’m not going to waste my time shoveling snow when it will be melted in a day or two.

We’ve had some snow already but now the “big one” seems to be headed our way. The weather forecast is for anywhere between 3 inches and a foot of accumulation. It just depends on whether the approaching storm from Texas and Oklahoma end up head straight East or if it takes a utrn to the north. We’ll see by morning which way it goes.

Funny how the real story behind the news flashes can change dramatically by the time all the facts come out. Especially the body counts on big disasters.

Yesterday they talked about a fisherman finding a leg in a lake. Then it became the river. Then it became a leg bone. Now it turns out that an old Indian burial ground was washed away in a flash flood from all the rain. The bone is supposedly hundreds of years old from an Indian.

Right.
