There is now 6″ of snow on the ground now in my little backyard. We did seem to luck out and miss the ice that could have covered everything this morning. Instead we seem to have received mostly snow. And now we have fog to contend with, too. From now until spring, I fear the dreary colorless scene is what we’re going to be dealing with. I’m already missing the greens, the colors of spring and summer. They’ll come, but right now it seems like it’s forever away.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect from noon today through Saturday morning.

A calm morning so far, but expecting a mess in the afternoon and overnight. Chances are the drive in to work for those who will find that necessary tomorrow morning might be a problem. Fingers crossed for safe driving for everyone through this storm system. Not a really wonderful way to begin a brand new year, but hopefully things will improve…goodness knows, things have to improve all the way around from the year we just left in our rear view window.
