Fluffy White Stuff

The forecast for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday where I live is fluffy white stuff covering the entire area non-stop! [sigh] It was supposed to start at 3pm Thursday. Thank goodness it didn't. We were all safe home and in bed when it started. Poor DH is out there now plowing the driveway at 6am Friday! Snow is still coming down non-stop. There must be ice mixed with it and it is very windy, as I hear it banging on the window panes. The roads are not plowed yet from where I see them. Or maybe they were but since the wind is blowing the snow off the sidewalks and into the roads and more of it is falling from the sky, the roads are covered again.

Here comes the big plow to work on our street. Uh-oh!! As it passed by our driveway, it pushed back some of the snow into our driveway. Poor DH has to plow that part again as it is now higher than the rest of what's on the driveway.
Where will he put all that stuff away? DH has to plow the driveway somehow so it won't pile up too high. It would be more difficult to do it later. Besides, he is going to drive DB to work. DB got a new job as a dialysis nurse at a nearby hospital. Come rain or snow or sleet [or tornado?] he has a sworn duty to attend to.

There will be thunderstorms sometime today also. I've never heard of that...thunderstorms with snow. It sounds dangerous! Will it melt the snow falling from the sky and turn the flakes into little teeny-weeny ice balls? The temperature will still be lower than the freezing point and wind chills are even lower.

TTFN. Gotta prepare hot coffee or chocolate for DH to warm him up. Am I so glad I'm not going anywhere today! Although I want to go to Michael's. I have a couple of 40% off coupons that are burning a hole in my wallet. I want to get a couple of clear stamps. Well...that has to wait.
