Back you go | Go forward, move ahead
I am thinking I should pre-salt though. Think I have a virus of some kind and am currently running a fever, so fucking great having to climb ladders to put out the back porch roof special snowflake salt [not rock salt]. I'll probably feel worse tomorrow. Okay, I'll go put on rain coat, plastic gloves, and pre-salt. It feels really cold today too.
Alright, 25 minutes later and I have pre-salted. Slammed my knee on the ladder when I had to move it, so wow, bonus! And no flakes yet. I want J Russell's tongues to burn with calcium chloride until they learn to communicate better!! I know, I'm so nice. HAH!
Okay, I'm gonna ice my knee. They are saying snow starting in 43 minutes. So around 6:32? We'll see if they are right.
Update 8:56pm: There is just the lightest coat of snow on roofs and cars. You can't even SEE it snowing, if it even is, at this point.
Update 9:25pm: You can see it snowing now; but it's a very light snow.
Update 10:40pm: Still light snow, but ground has a dusting now. The sky is getting brighter, approaching 'snow sky' shade--which is um, not quite sure how to describe that. It's obviously still dark out--duh--but it's brighter and snow skies are sometimes pink hued. Quite beautiful actually. Not there yet though. Might take some pix when I let the dogs out [yes, I let the dogs out, it was me]. Will take with cell phone, don't feel like hauling camera around at bedtime.

I wouldn't mind if they called the whole thing off, TBH.
yeah, i hope they're wrong this time. this winter has been NUTS! i'm worried about the plants that had started to bud and then we had some snow for a few days--just a coating, but still. this is the year for my cherry bushes bumper crop!! every 2 years! they had started getting leaves on 'em.
i'd be okay with the snow if it was JANUARY....but march?! yeah, can we please call this off?
when j russell had to come out the year AFTER my destroying ice dam, they used about 200#s of calcium chloride to get the ice melted and the gutter flowing again.
