It’s a mess outside this morning. Tried to shovel some snow along my back patio to get out to feed the critters…no way! It’s a heavy, wet snow. I pushed some of it along and dumped it, then simply gave up. Hard to measure precip in a mix like this. Measured a good 1″ of new snow, but that had been weighed down by sleet, freezing rain, so not accurate but the best I can do. Looks to be about 4.5″ of snow out there, but like I said, been packed down to that by a variety of precipitation. And then by Friday? Back down to a high of about 11, so this hideous mess will freeze into all sorts of unhappy surfaces. Winter! What an ugly season.
