I’ve always been curies as to why every time it snows people feel the need to go to the store and buy milk and eggs and bread. Why these items and not something that won’t spoil if you were to lose power.
The part I always laugh at is even in the worst storms in most of the world things will be back to normal within a day or two. Even if you can’t drive someplace most people could (gasp) walk to get what they may need.
We had the normal snow to ice to changeover again. It’s odd how there appears to be the biggest snow storms around Presidents’ Day.
We headed out to the NW river trail to check out the river ice. It was cool looking so I had to share some pictures.
It looks like the Susquehanna valley is in for another ice storm. We’ve been placed in a winter storm watch for it.
Well this last storm was one of those times where the cold air just hangs tough at the surface. We ended up below freezing here until about 11am with freezing rain. Some of it was heavy. Cold air damming sure is fun to watch in action. It was a good thing state college issued the ice storm warning.
The roads seemed to mostly stay wet but it was really accumulating on the trees and wires and other things.
We ended up having about six inches of very compact sleet and snow. Everything froze into a rock-hard glacier like ice when it got colder.
