Only 2 In. Of Snow But It's That....

pesty layer of ice on top that will get you. I'm glad DD brought her laptop home last night. She is working from home and not making that 70 mile round trip to the office. She has spoken to one attorney and there are only 6 people that got in. The rest are working from home. One secretary slid into a ditch trying to drive in. She is okay.

DD had leftover Chinese, Sesame Chicken, for breakfast and I had a BLT. Good start to a yucky home bound day. On the agenda here in laundry and general picking up for me. going to put a small pork roast in the oven later. Exciting stuff.

Both cats are keeping DD company while she works so all is good.

Are you iced in? If so, what will you be doing?

Still icy here, but temps should be going up above freezing in an hour or so. At that time I will run out for 4 local errands, including filling up with gas for my car.

We had plenty of advanced notice about this storm, so I got some errands done in advance yesterday- as many as I could, but not all.

We got a small amount of snow before dawn, but that was washed away by the rain which later froze, creating the icy situation.

When I went to feed the birds, there was a small sheet of ice on each of the back steps. Decided to wait a bit.

@LyndaGee Birds & Ice..........I also turned back twice over the past month. Second attempt (ice coating over deep snow NYS)....decided to spread seeds on ice.... better than nothing..........

within an hour got a 2 inches per hour dump and.....seeds were buried, birds had no clue food was there.

Successful feeders restocked after days of 50 degrees last week

Now big snow storm back again

We got several inches of snow and it has been sleeting now for quite a while. Roads are very icy so we won't be going out today. That's okay with me, nothing like a stormy at home day with the fireplace going. I just finished a workout and took a shower. Next a small load of laundry and putting my "winter" theme flameless candles away. As I was cleaning the house the last couple of days I put them all together on a table. At the same time I will replace them with my spring ones. The outside wreath will have to wait for a nice day though

Then for dinner later we are doing a nice omelette with homefries and leftover ribeye steak from last nights dinner on the side with some blue cheese and wine of course!

@CrazyKittyLvr2 The problem is you forgot to mention your location. Here in the Chicago surburbs about 2 in. of snow which was orginially suppose to be 5 to 7 in. so I am not complaining. Have a great weekend.

@Katcat1 Oops, you're right. I'm in NE PA.

Southern WV is sunny and 44 degrees, wet from the heavy showers yesterday. Temps are to keep dropping and bring flurries, but no accumulation.

No complaints whatsoever from this winter so far.

I know everyone is cautious going out when it is icy, it is nothing to fool around with.

3 weeks ago when there was still snow and icy spots my sister's 16 r. old granddaughter fell walking to the school bus. She hit her head. A trip to the ER followed. No brain bleed per 2 different CT scan, but she has a severe concussion and is still not in school.

She is not allowed on the computer to do remote classes, l guess because it makes the brain work . I she has to rest, period. No TV, no reading, anything that you have to concentrate on.

I hate ice. My main worry at my age was breaking a hip. Now, nope, it is my head.
