Those of you who are not here in the valley can relax. The storm that started the day out as freezing rain yesterday morning quickly turned to all rain as the temperatures rose through the day. It rained heavy at times but to my knowledge the roads never got icy. That is very good news indeed.
The temperature is around 40 degrees this morning and hopefully will continue to rise into the afternoon. That is melting a lot of the snow and ice that has been lying around from the last 2 storms. Hopefully the day will continue to get warmer and the ground will absorb the water and prevent it from re-icing when the temps drop again. As usual we will have to wait and see. But for now, all is sunny and relatively warm in the valley.
