For the second time in as many weekends we got socked by a potent storm system which brought rain the first day changing over to high winds and blowing snow which pretty much shut the northwestern part of the state down Saturday and Sunday. And then the cold came with this.
One good thing about it was we didn't get much snow out here. I'm guessing we got about 2 inches total. But the winds were a constant 35 MPH yesterday. This could have been worse. Had we got more freezing rain like we did about four years ago, we would have power outages that would lasted more than a couple days.
I guess our friends up in Madison got 10 inches of the white crap rather than the 14 inches predicted. Dubuque got about 5 more inches of snow. Doesn't look like I'll be doing any bargain hunting up there now till springtime.
So this monday we are 5 above and the sun's out. But looks like we in another snow pattern for the next two fucking weeks. So much for a mild winter, that got thrown out the window, just like the last 4 years of December and the cold and snow. And wishing I could have found a decent paying job in Arizona and not having to deal if the car is going to start or not.
Welcome to winter, and it's not even a week before the start of winter.
