Stormy Weather

This blog is usually published by 9AM local time and is sometimes updated through the day.

This morning's photo:

It was cold here for most of yesterday....make that ALL of yesterday.When the temp did begin to rise,the wind picked up,so it actually felt colder.It started snowing in the early evening and we were up to -4 by midnight.By then the roads were covered and it was still snowing quite steadily.Conditions at that time were very much like a blizzard:

Early this morning the snow changed to freezing rain and the wind increased even more.Road conditions are reported as very bad and all area schools are closed.

Currently,I have about 10 cms of snow,completely saturated with water,on my back steps.The wind has brought down a few small branches,no power failures in this are so far.

Conditions are not expected to improve until later today.
