What a Mess!

The weather in the valley has been a mix of every kind of precipitation that I can name. The snow started to fall in the middle of the night and by the time I got up this morning we had accumulated about 4 inches. About mid-morning the snow changed to sleet and I would say we got about an inch of that. A little later on it switched to freezing rain then sometime in the early afternoon it turned to all rain. This made the snow that was on the ground unbelievably heavy and hard to shovel (not to mention the fact that you got soaking wet trying to move it). Of course, it had to be done because when this stuff freezes again it is going to be a rock!

The plows have been up and down Woodland Valley Road several times today clearing and sanding but I would recommend not driving if it isn't absolutely necessary. It is slippery now but passable but if the roads start to freeze it will be treacherous!

Right now it is 32 degrees and still raining lightly. The forecast is calling for more rain and snow into tomorrow with the high temperature of 35 and a low of 13. I will keep you posted.
