The Perfect Storm











The bottom pictures are from 7:30 this morning. We had about an inch of fresh snow, about 30 degrees F. The top pictures were taken eight hours later, at about 4 PM, and 36 degrees F. Now, I gotta ask you, is this the perfect storm or what? There was enough heat left in the asphalt driveway to melt the snow, so it didn't ice up. The rest of the landscape got just enough to take a few pretty pictures, then the blessed rain came and washed it all away. And, by golly, you don't have to shovel the rain. To me, THAT's the perfect storm.
P.S. As I sit here typing this, looking out the den window, the temperature has dropped, the rain has turned to heavy, wet snow - dime sized flakes. If this continues, we will have a foot of snow by mid morning tomorrow. Ah well. I put the snow shovel in the garage. We won't be riding the harleys to the meeting tonight, like we did in January. Does anyone make tire chains for motorcycles?
