Fog

Like the poem says "The fog comes on little cat feet".  It has sure rolled in here. Started last night and is getting worse all the time.  Then to add to it, they say it is going to last all night into tomorrow.  We got freezing rain first.  Lots of sleet.  Everything is a skating rink.  Lots of car accidents and semis overturned on the freeway.  Really bad. Wisconsin got 5" of snow.  I would rather have that than this ice.

Bitter Cold and Snow

We have had one tough winter this year. We had a couple of good years so I suppose we were way overdue in this area for a snowy, bitterly cold, windy winter. There is ice everywhere and if you don't watch your step very closely, you will find yourself lying on the ground with broken bones. The emergency wards are full of people with injuries. Once the snow melts a little and freezes back into ice, there seems to be no getting rid of it and then a little fresh snow covering it, is an accident waiting to happen. We are really going to appreciate Spring this year.
