Jan. 18th – A few cm snow, and then rain all night

I was worried about visiting my client. The radar showed something coming, the question: when! It was fine when I left. I was due to leave her place at 4:00, and at 3:45, the snow just dropped like a curtain. Big, fluffy flakes. Eventually, it changed to rain. The sidewalk is all ice.

Jan. 17th

And here it comes! The question: will it be rain, snow, sleet or hail?! The blue is snow, the pink the ice rain, the green rain. Sigh.

Track My Plow shows a mess!
