Looks like another wave of that "blue" stuff going across the Midwest, maybe this one won't be so mean to Washington, but I think I might be manning MY shovel this time.
I'm finished with the cold this year, when the Bar B Q won't light because the propane is too cold, it's time for a little sunshine and longer days to warm things up a little.
Drive careful in that blue stuff, it can be hard to see sometimes.

Not quite the weather I expect to see in Sebastian Florida, the price of oranges may be going up soon.

Well, so far, "we" have lucked out in my local area with no more than about an inch of snow, the photo below was New Years Day a few years ago and I wouldn't have to drive more than an hour to see this kind of pile today.
I'm in the Great Lakes region but we got rain when everyone else got snow. Then on the cold windy days the "lake effect" was going the "other way" dumping across the lake.
Anyway, I'm not complaining about the lack of snow, I see right now on the radar that there's a whack of that white s... in areas of Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. This one might just get "us"

Another victim of the last winter blast . . . or was it?
The tracks from this truck were straight as the road started to take a gentle
bend. Maybe the driver was suffering from fatigue or tunnel vision and did not notice the bend till it was too late.
This region is notorious for white outs, so perhaps the driver could not see the bend in the road.
The driver may have been trying to look through a dirty or snow covered windshield.
Whatever the reason, the damage is done and it becomes another learning opportunity and an example of winter hazards drivers deal with in northern a climate.

Winter is not over yet but we are getting a few nice days in a row.
ABOVE FREEZING ! ! !
For at least a couple of days I can go outside wearing a sweater instead of a heavy winter coat although there is a lot of rain accompanying the warmer weather.
Finally, I can stop making trails in the yard for my dog,
I can see if there are any cars coming as I back out of my driveway.
For those fortunate enough not to know what a "Windrow" is . . . it's that pile of white s#!% at the end of your driveway that the snow plow guy so meticulously piles up mixed with salt and slush at 2:00 in the morning which turns into a frozen chunk of ICE Four Feet Tall and Six Feet Wide hours later when you have to leave very quickly.
This was the bottom of my driveway two weeks ago!
Sometimes it seems like the snow plow guy is watching and when he sees that you have finished shoveling the driveway and gone back inside, he comes back with another huge pile of snow and slush (I don't even know where he gets it from) and deposits it so once again you can't possibly remove a car from your driveway.
Happy Thaw,
