Wacky weather

Boy howdy!
Forecast was 61 and rain, currently like 20 degrees with 50 MPH wind. Wind chill -7! 🥶 Hard little snow pellets whipping around and piling up against the rocks . Forecast has been revised to 25 degrees by 5 PM.
Sharon left for CA this morning and her plane got off despite the wind. I’m on my own for a week and don’t plan to leave the house!

I went outside and had planned to use the leaf blower to get rid of what I thought was light powdery snow. Turns out the top is light powdery snow but underneath it was semi-frozen slush on the driveway. The driveway is black, so it tends to warm up and retain heat, which it must have done over the last few days, as it has been warm. I had to get the shovel out to scrape everything down to the bare blacktop.
The winds were howling all night and I didn't get much sleep; I was awake worrying about a tree branch coming down on the house.

We're in the middle of a winter storm. Woke up to ice covered everything. Power went out at 10 am, came back on around 2:45 pm. Internet came back around 3:30 pm.
Everything is still covered in ice, storm warning is in effect til 7 pm, I believe. Very beautiful.
