Ice and Snow Gotta Go

 Ice and Snow Gotta Go
Going to church Sunday morninng, it was a bit foggy, but was able to wear a suit jacket and a porkpie hat. It was almost forty degrees Farenheit with a strong breeze and light rain. The weatherman warned of the weather dropping with winds increasing also to include even stronger gusts. It seemed to be the same as I moved into the Subday School classroom after the service. As I sat in the classroom, a heavy fog rolled in. The temperature continued to drop and the rain changed into a slushy snow that had already began to coat my car. The road home was just wet. Because the snowplows had caused a dam of shale and soil at the end of my drive, water had filled my driveway. Behind the dam was an inches deep pond. I grabbed a spade from the basement to open some drainage channels. Because it was blowing a wet snow, I didn’t make enough of them. The pond got amaller, but water kept flowing in the pond remained.
I ate some venison stew for lunch. I made a large pot yesterday. I was cold from being outside. I was so glad. I ladeled several scoops into a large mug and zapped it in my microwave. It tasted so good and quickly helped me warm up. The winds increased as well as the snowfall until it was a bizzard. The wind seemed to puch the snow across the road. I think as the snow formed an icy cap, the blowing snow scooted across the road. Because the snowplows hadn’t yet pushed snow into piles at the side of the roads and the snow hadn’t yet started to collecct snow behind them into drifts. The pond in my drive has frozen and is covered with a layer of snow. I really don’t want to deal with is in the moorning. There will be a puddle of water beneath the ice.
 A car just creeped by headlights illuminating the snow covered road. It moved slowly and I could see wind-whipped snow dancing over the snow covered road. It makes me glad the church services were cancelled and I could remain inside safe and warm.
