Well, Thursday and Friday of this week, we got another round of the same conditions as the week before. First it started out as rain, then turned to ice and snow, then blizzards and white-out road conditions. The governor has declared the whole state of Iowa a disaster area. Much of the interstate has been closed down, especially from West Des Moines to Omaha. I took emergency annual leave from work as I'm not about to drive in this stuff. All of the schools have been closed down too which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. They've been watching a lot of television for the past couple of days. ha!
Today it's finally slowing down however the temps are in the teens again. It's a waste of time to shovel or snow blow since the snow is still coming down. Tomorrow is supposed to start clearing up and the temperature will be in the 30s. Then come Monday, we are supposed to get warmer temperatures in the 40s and maybe even low 50s later on in the week.
We had a very warm November, December and January....then, all hell broke loose when February arrived. We lived through it but it didn't have to carry over to March too.
I do not like winter. I love spring! I want to see tulips, crocuses and daffodils. Go away snow and ice.
Hurry up, Spring! I can't wait.
I hope that you all are enjoying better weather than we're having here in Iowa.
