Snow then Ice

The storms seem to be rolling in over the East coast rather regularly. Again, we expected a storm - snow. Then they said it would warm up and change to rain - OK. We did hit Shop Rite as they are having their can can sale and we expected to go later this week. Most of what I got was once a year stock up - canned tomatoes, soup, canned beans and such. We also got a rump roast for dinner. I picked up some blueberries as I figured we would be eating breakfast home. When I took Honey out at 10 there was no snow.

This morning it was snowing - maybe 2 inches on the ground (this was 5:30). We came in and I had coffee and she had breakfast. The temperatures was below freezing. Then, the snow started to change to sleet. Our next outing (B had taken her out after breakfast for both the paper and to potty) the snow was somewhat crusty. Then, the sleet changed to rain and the temperatures was at 32. And everything really iced over. The temperatures got up to 36 but the ice just stayed put. When we went out again the snow was very icy and Honey was clever, she kinda threw her paw down to go through the ice to get a grip. Potty was somewhat difficult as she slid - all for legs in different directions if you can imagine. Around 3 B went out to clean the car and steps. Thank you, B - the steps were covered with about 1/8 to 1/4 inch of ice. So were the trees, leaves, cars.... A car went up our road and almost fish-tailed into the gully right above our house. It's pretty but dangerous. A truck with a plow just went up with cinders and a while ago a Township truck went past on the township road throwing snow/ice off the road. Glad we are home!!  Some pictures below.

I took this from inside.

Same spot close up. You can see the ice on the wire of the lights
