Trying to get into my car this morning was difficult. Less then an inch of snow fell overnight. During the early morning hours, the snow turned to rain. The rain was melting the snow. It seemed everywhere I stepped, the snow turned into a big water puddle. I was trying to walk carefully so I wouldn't get water on my shoes. It didn't work. My shoes got wet. The good thing is they didn't get wet enough to get to my socks.
The drive to work was fine. The roads were wet and somewhat slushy. When I got to the office, I saw the parking lots have already been plowed. I parked next to another car in the lot. That car was already in the lot when it was plowed. So the plow went around it. Leaving piles of snow on the passenger side of the parked car. I opened my door and looked down. I could tell there was a puddle of snow and water waiting for me. I tried my best to get out slowly so I wouldn't splash. It didn't matter. My shoes, socks and pant legs got all wet. Just trying to make it to the building was hard. Everywhere I stepped was puddles of water and slushy snow. I really enjoyed working with wet shoes, socks and pants.
During the morning hours, the wind picked up. We had 25 mph winds with gusts up to 60 mph. Later in the afternoon, the wind was shaking my house. I went outside on the porch to see if the Christmas decorations were still standing. Two snowman were knocked over. I picked up the larger snowman and set it back on the table it was standing on. The small snowman was laying on one of the front steps of the porch. I picked it up and tucked it against the side of the house and mailbox. That's not getting blown away tonight.
The glorious wind will continue into Thursday and finally diminish Thursday night. With the wind comes the wind chills. With the wind chills Thursday, the temperature will be right around zero. Yuck. All I can ask is: Is it spring yet?
