Getting freezing rain, and everything has a clear glaze on it! Tonight it looks eerie with the street lights reflecting off the 6'' of snow still on ground.

My sidewalks were bone dry until 4 PM when just a little bit of freezing rain hit. I did some grocery shopping a couple of hours after that and my windshield iced up while I was in the store. I started up my truck and by the time I got all the groceries loaded in the back the ice was melted. Now at 2 AM it looks like there's 1/2 inch of snow and it's still coming down. I heard the weatherman 4 hours ago say to think of any type of precipitation and we'll get it.

I came home at 10:00 PM to 11°, a plowed driveway, frozen pipes, hungry ingrate cats and a warm cozy trailer.
Forecast is calling for 7° tonight, that meas 0° or lower.
Long day for me and today is going to be another long day.

I see your street light there, above your abode Kenny, lol where you might have many more city utilities than this Kymco 450isome dude, here on this forum, that lives way south .... in the boonies.... of the big city of Toledo, where he claims they have to live mostly in the dark, possibly using candles to illuminate their way out to a.... outhouse? Maybe we should start up a collection to help get them some power lines, way out there, in their boondocks, so he can at least heat up his.... commode in a shack.... toilet! lol Not even one street light! How sad is that lol

I had snapped my winch cable plowing just before I would have had it all finished. Waited a day because it was 2 degrees on Monday. Weather guessers said it would be mid-20's yesterday so I went out after lunch to work on it. It was more like 10 degrees and I had to take my gloves off for a couple things. Didn't take too long but my hands were throbbing by the time I got done. Ran in the house to warm up my hands. Tips of my fingers were kind of bluish/purple. Man, I hate how it feels to thaw out your fingers after they go numb....
