One Day Later: Snow Sucks

Seriously? The First Snow a week and a half ago was, indeed, lovely. Today, our second "real snow," is the most miserable tundra-esque, "don't forget the wrath of snow," day ever. Again, Southern loved ones, heed my call and never move north.

It was "supposed" to start snowing at Noon. Alas, it started snowing at 10:30am, and, at 3:30pm has yet to let up significantly. There is a reasonable amount of snow on the ground, maybe just a 1.5 or 2 inches; it is the lovely fluffy kind- not the wicked icy sort. The wind is gusting at 30-35 mph- this means the snow is falling in all directions and being blown off of roof tops, car tops, side walks, buildings ledges, the heads of school children as they walk home, and any surface that has any accumulation. I just went to dig my car out *for the 1st time*, as if it continues like this, it will be harder to dig out later. Again, my snow-nieve loved ones, the layer of snow on the car at night fall, when our temps will drop from 27 to 15, will turn into a solid sheet of ice. It is much harder to scrape the ice off your car than to brush off the snow. Thus, it is best to dig it out for the *final* time after the snow stops falling, so as not to wake up to an entombed vehicle.

Today in Hometown, Florida, it is 70-something, sunny, with a light breeze. The low tonight in Hometown is 61.
