So Sunday night the weather forecast predicted the beginnings of a blizzard coming through by Monday afternoon. We had plans for Monday to go to the glass making factory for a tour and then ballet class on Monday night. Both of those things ended up getting canceled because of the freezing rain that came through on that side of town... we got very little of it over here. We did get some misty light sleet that turned into a very light dusting of snow.
Today we didn't have anywhere we needed to be but I did hear that the college, where Dancer takes dance, had canceled classes.
We did have some pretty high winds today along with a little more snow... still not as much as elsewhere around here. Lot's of people on the other side of town and in the smaller villages around here lost power and had much more snow... probably didn't help that it was so damn windy that it made nearly white-out driving conditions. It took my dad 45 minutes to get home from work, after having to dig out everyone where he works... it's a drive that usually only takes 10 - 15 minutes. Warming stations had been set-up for those without power... most of them by the Red Cross and local fire stations.
It's past 1:30am here now and Dodger just came in and said that it's still snowing. It makes me wonder what time it started up again because it didn't snow all day long. Here's a picture of my porch now...
I wonder what it's going to look like tomorrow when we get up.
The college has canceled classes again tomorrow, so there will be no tap class... I'm totally fine with that.
We only received half the snow predicted but the drifts are wicked!!!!!
ReplyDeletei haven't left the house since... hmmm... last Friday, maybe. so i don't have a clue what the rest of the city looks like.
ReplyDeletethank goodness we didn't get as much snow as predicted either... it was hard enough shoveling what we had.
