We washed cars yesterday because it was warm. Today it's cold again.

We got more snow. I saw this car slowly go sideways, then slowly slide into the little hill across the road. They got turned back around after a few minutes and went on their way. Nobody else seemed to have problems with the road, though it was another two hours before the first plow truck went by.

I don't notice how big crows are than other birds until they come close.

It got down to -22 this morning. The temperature shot up though when the sun rose. We made it up to 16, briefly, this afternoon.

It was -17° at 7:00 this morning, which is about as cold as it ever gets here. Around 8:15 we saw emergency vehicles going by. I looked to the north and saw a big cloud of smoke. A barn about a mile up the road caught fire. There were at least 6 different fire departments which helped put it out. We saw a big truck that said 'tanker' go by 3 times. It was -9° when the fire happened. I don't know how that effects firefighting, but I stopped seeing smoke by 9:00.

I had to go to town today. The city had a front end loader out loading up trucks with snow to dump who knows where. Some years ago the city had a little plow to plow all the sidewalks, but I guess not anymore. Not all sidewalks were cleared so it was rough walking in front of some buildings.

My younger son planned ahead and took today off work. My older son went in late, and school was cancelled for my daughter. I think we ended up with 9-10 inches from the storm.

We're getting snow from a big storm. It started last night, and this is what it looked like this morning. Then it snowed at a good rate all day.

Our house is 250 feet from the road, and there were a few times we couldn't see the phone pole at the end of the driveway this morning.

We went to an aquatic pet store.  While we were checking out the cashier said he just got a winter weather alert for the next 30 minutes. We went outside and it was snowing little hail balls, it was like we were being pelted with tiny styrofoam balls. We ended up driving in it the whole way home.

I haven't gone anywhere since it snowed so my car is still covered.
