With the ice we had lastnite everything is froze here but is thawing because of the sun heating the concrete and pavements, but in the yard it still covered and froze.
We put out 1800lbs of salt and 75 gallons of liquid ice, and pushed snow until 3 this morning. I love making money but this is cold wet work.

We drove up to my parents house in Raleigh Friday night. We didn't run into any weather till around Garner. Had a good snow fall Friday into Sat. Took the kids and the wife out to play in the snow Saturday. My kids have seen snow, but not enough to play in. We rode the sled that I had when I was a kid(it was pretty old then) down the road in front of my parents house. It was the first time my kids have ever had a chance to play in it(my wife also). we had a blast, then loaded up the burb this morning and drove back to Charleston. Roads were clear around Fayetteville down. Glad to be back home. The triangle area is expecting 10 degrees tonite, its going to be a mess on I40 in the morning, everything that melted today is going to be solid ice in the morning.

Well, as far as the snow goes, it started here about 9 this morning. The band off from Lake Ontario just shifted to the south after leaving 12+ inches depending on where you measure. Good old lake effect. The last few days have been chilly with overnight temps about -10. Warmed up nicely today, 23.
I am a supervisor with the City Public Works. I feel for you guys dealing with wet snow followed by rain and freezing rain; It is an absolute nightmare to deal with. Tough on equipment and the budget. Good luck with the clean-up.

Kids loved being out of school. Mrs. Blue had to go back to school for a teacher workday and I had a time getting her car to the top of our driveway. About 100 yds of my drive is up a nice sized hill. Of course it also doubles a sledding hill too.
In this part of NC its not all that uncommon to see snow. We see it 4 - 6 times a year but only 1 or 2 significant snows. Now tonight thru Saturday its going to rain/freeze rain/snow. As if the ground isn't wet enough. Come one spring!

We havent had a snow day yet from school...the one decent snow we had was on a Saturday and the 3-6 they are calling for will start Friday night....2 delayed openings for the schools from a couple of nuisance 1-2 inch snow falls that happened over night....All in all not a bad winter so far.

It is very unusual for us to have snow on the ground this long, the city crews are still clearing sidewalks and roads from last Friday's snow, and here comes more.
Looks like the kids had their spring break this week. Hey BR, what grade does your wife teach? Mine teaches 1st.
