When
Punxsatawny Phil saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter
he got to crawl back into his Groundhog hole and do whatever Groundhogs
do...he doesn't get to play with winter storms. Lucky Groundhog.
Winter Storm Liam made his way through the area today causing schools
and businesses to close as he dumped bunches of heavy, wet snow for
hours this morning and sleet and freezing rain later this afternoon. I
know it was freezing rain because I was quite frozen and soaked to the
bone as I tried to clear the eight inches of snow before it turned to
heavier slush. Apparently, a goose feather winter coat is not water
resistant at all. Who Knew!
I was able to clear my neighbors' sidewalks before the heavy sleet
fell....and before I ran out of gas in the snowblower. Everything is
iced over in the photo. And cars trying to drive the streets today were
sliding out of control. I changed out of my soaked clothes and stayed
put.
Phil, next year give me a call. I will give you some tips on avoiding that whole seeing your shadow scene. ;)
