20.8 degrees!

Well, they were saying this could be a 10 year storm, now it looks like it could be a 20-30 year storm. The forecast shows possibly 10 days or so below freezing all day and night!

We woke up early yesterday morning (Sunday) with temps in the low 30's. They plummeted all day from there and are still dropping this morning where it is currently 20.8 degrees!

The east wind picked up about the time the snow arrived so although we probably got 2-3 inches of snow the wind blew most of it away. The only place it really accumulated was on the grass and in wind sheltered area. The roads in Sweetbriar are patchy packed snow and ice, but once you get out on the main roads it is pretty clear from the wind.

Today will no doubt be another cold day, and the forcast is for more snow Tuesday and Wednesday. Hopefully the east wind dies and some of that snow stacks up a bit. I was rather dissapointed that I didnt get to use 4wd this morning!
