We are having a very brief ice or snow event. Nothing much.
Pretty out this morning. Earlier, it was tinkling ice pellets falling.
Its not a slick mix, crunchy pellets of ice.
FCCO cancelled clinics today and tomorrow, unsure, as was everyone, of weather, if we were going to have another major ice storm. They are getting high east wind gusts in the metro region, some areas. Over a week ago, FCCO changed my trip up with Seven Mile cats to the 22nd. It was supposed to be today. The reschedule had nothing to do with a weather forecast but I'm happy the reservations were changed from today.
Down here, where I live, its just a bit of ice pellets falling. But Lebanon and Sweet Home got hit harder, with ice or snow or both.

We get snow so infrequently here, it's a big deal when we do get some. I like snow, not ice, but snow I want to go walk in, slide in, something. It's so beautiful and quiet. At least for awhile. Melting snow is ugly and messy.
I'm glad you don't have to be going out and taking cats in that mess. I hope you're staying warm.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It was all slush before noon, but then it froze at dark again, but is supposed to be all gone tomorrow, above freezing by 5:00 a.m. So, at least over fast. The worst part---an inch of snow/ice pellets was enough for garbage company to cancel service today and tell those whose usual service is today, that they'll pick up normal time a week from today. Which isn't good, when my can was full already, of dirty litter and I"ll have an entire week of dirty litter without anywhere to put it.
ReplyDeleteWinter weather can be a pain.
ReplyDeleteYes, it can be. This wasn't much of a storm, outside of big wrecks up in the gorge where the wind was unbelievable and white out conditions.
DeleteYou are doing what you do with cats. It must be interesting to have some unusual weather.
ReplyDeleteA little break from the usual gray and rainy wet.
DeleteSnow is very pretty to look at, especially if you don't have to be out on the roads. We had snow here a couple of days ago, but it melted before I made the snowman I meant to make.
ReplyDeleteI was going to make one too, but it turned to slush too fast yesterday. We had no further snow, not even much freezing rain last night. It was forecast but did not come. So this morning, everything is melting fast.
