Rain In The Valley

I woke up to heavy rain here in the valley this morning. Right now the rain has tapered off and is turning to flurries. Looks like we are getting that old, hateful "wintery mix".

There is still about 2 inches of very, very wet snow in a lot of places (like my driveway). That should be really fun in the next couple of days as the temperatures drop and it starts to freeze. The rain is getting caught in puddles and will make for a slippery situation when it hardens. I guess it is time to get out the ice cleats.

I don't know when the temperatures are going to drop but anyone coming tonight for the weekend should be careful in their driveway and getting out of the car.

Woodland Valley Road is clear at this point. The town has spread it's usual salt and sand mixture. But do be careful driving tonight as the temperatures drop. Road conditions can change quickly.
