Sleet Happens!

Rooty and I just took the trash out -- it's sleeting. The sleet is supposed to change to snow in a few hours. The irony, of course, is that it's the first day of Spring.

I don't care, however, because the threat of four or more inches of snow has resulted in my favorite annual TV news story -- people who wait until it starts to snow before they buy a snow shovel. Do they just have no sense of planning ahead?

The photo is of Rooty and I last year -- this is what it's supposed to be like by morning! I have the snow plow gassed up and I'm ready to rumble!!

A week ago, it hit 82 here and today it was a balmy 33. That's just wrong...

You have 33 -- we had 106 a week ago and now its -58. :)

It was a strange mix last night - rain, sleet, and snow all at once. I got pelted in the eyes a couple times from the sleet when I was walking the dogs.

Snoopy has fully recovered...not bad for an old guy (12 yrs old).
----------------------------------
glad Snoopy is doing better!

we had heavy sleet, which gets down into Rooty's thick spit-curls -- it was like have ice delivered everytime he went outside -- we had about 4 inches of snow later, major pretty, stuck to all the trees
