The snow continues in central Indiana. It has pretty much been nonstop since 8:30AM this morning. Blowing and drifting is occurring on E/W roads.

Time will tell how much more snow we’ll get before the snow moves out of the state. Currently most everything in Indy is closed, and most all schools are closed for in person learning. Some schools will have remote classes on Friday. Some schools are reporting that they will actually have a true “Snow Day” with the kids completely off.

Today is supposed to be a rough day weather wise in central Indiana. We are officially under a Winter Storm Warning.

The latest forecast is calling for six to nine inches of snow during the day today. High winds are to add to wind chill temps and cause blowing and drifting of snow. (Northern Indiana got up to 9 inches yesterday.) We’ll have to wait and see if the forecast snow amounts occur.

Yep, more danged snow: enough already!

We had a day without snow, but with frigid temperatures. Some more snow was predicted, maybe an inch or so. However we had another “woke up, looked out and said wow” moment. We got another 5 inches of the white stuff. Fortunately we have been blessed with no interruptions in any of our utility suppliers.

Enjoying a treat

The TV weather forecast on Saturday called for some freezing rain Sunday morning followed by rain. Imagine the surprise when we woke up Sunday to a fairly heavy snowfall with about an inch already on the ground!

Our herb and flower garden was a summer project that we worked on while staying “in isolation” avoiding the COVID-19 pandemic. With today’s snowfall it sure looks rather, ah, wintery. One thing about snow: your yard looks just as good as the always  perfect yard down the street.

We’re still waiting for our chance to get the coronavirus vaccine. Here in Indiana you have to be 70 or above to sign up for the vaccine. Neither of us are 70 yet, but we will be in the next group, be it 60+ or 65+, assuming they won’t change which group is next to be allowed to get the vaccine. We are anxiously awaiting our chance to receive the vaccine. We, like everyone, are anxious to get back to being able to safely travel and to visit family.
