The last of the Chili and Tamales.
Maybe something for dessert but probably not.

We had rain at home bu 11:30, sleet at the office. It's still raining a little and the WX folks are talking about flooding.

Mine was completely covered when I went out. I put my arm in a reusable bag and did the best I could, LOL.

We got around 7-inches total, here. Much higher than they predicted yesterday.

College closed early and it still took me 2 hours to get home. Most of it sucked, but the last mile or two was kinda fun And now I have wine and cats and will go make dinner, so it's all good.

My commute to get my daughter was hell, so was my wife's to go home. What should have taken me 30-45 minutes took over 3 hours. My wife, who is CLOSER to the daycare by about 20 minutes, ended up taking so long in traffic that I made it to the daycare first.

But, I can't complain compared to those on the highway south of me. Due to various accidents/etc, people were apparently stuck on the highway for 6-7 hours before moving.

Awful!

There was traffic when I first left school, but honestly, it still would have taken me that long. The roads were soooo slippery and I never went faster than 30mph on the highway. On the local roads in my town, I was going slow because of the hills and curves and would pull over if a car came up behind me and wanted to go faster. I then saw several of those cars pulled over - one of them sideways - about a mile or two later. There was one more bad hill to go up about 1.5 mile until my house and a bunch of cars were getting stuck, so I pulled into the town hall parking lot to keep an eye on the hill and wait it out. A little while later, the plow went up the hill. Didn't do a whole heck of a lot but cars weren't getting stuck anymore, so I started up. Had enough traction to keep moving in a generally forward direction, but definitely got some good practice at controlling a car that wanted to be sideways. And then I was home.

To wine and cats! It doesn't get any better.

It's freezing out there, but the rain has moved out at last so at least it's dry around here.

It sounds like your driving was the perfect example of how one should drive in the snow. Slow and steady. And, if needed, pull over until conditions get better!

Glad you made it safely! Glad we all made it safely!

Morning all, a grey start today but very mild still so just having a brew then off to pick up Susie as she stayed at Mums last night.

 

[davidharmier60]

Phone says it is 37 outside. I'd bet 58 on the thermostat. I'll see if I'm right in a few minutes. Yep slow and steady in the snow.

Slush puddle special this morning. We got about 5 inches of snow before it switched over to rain for the last few hours. I had to stand in a just over the ankle slush puddle to shovel the snow boulders from the back of my driveway.

My cold and wet feet have announced the end of my waterproof boots. It's been a good run, but it's time to retire them.

It switched over to a wintry mix here last night, but went back to big, fluffy flakes later. All that was forecast, so local plowing hasn't begun yet. Good day to be off work at least.

We have a spot at the end of our driveway that dips and has a surprisingly deep puddle whenever we get this type of snow then rain. It looks like a few inches but is more like a 6+ Monster. I try to clear it but it always reforms. It’s retired quite a few “waterproof” snow boots. The only thing that truly works vs the monster is the knee high rain boots. Good thing because that’s all I could find this morning. Can’t remember where I put my snow boots when I lost my mud room and garage to the renovation. I got the walkway done so my bff from ups can get here, hoping the rain finishes the driveway.
