The snow is over. Now things get cold. Really cold.

The sun popped out this morning! The sunlight looks warm but the temperatures won’t allow much if any melting today. The forecast high was 22, and that is what it is already. The low overnight tonight will be -2 according to the NWS. So far the first temperatures above freezing will be next Wednesday. Hey, at least the city plowed the street this morning.
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.

Which do you want first? Ok, the bad news: We had appointments for our first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine scheduled for 3 PM this afternoon. Last night the State Department of Health sent us text messages stating that due to the impending snow storm our appointments were cancelled. Rats!
This large storm is all over the news. It is touted as one that affects millions and millions of people. (When did they start tallying how many are affected by snow, rain, hurricanes, etc.) We had about an inch of snow overnight. The big storm is supposed to hit here about 3 PM dumping up to 9 inches they say.
Oh yea, the good news. This morning we called the information number for vaccine scheduling. First we found out that after our appointments today were cancelled that we went to the back of the line. We were able, however, to get scheduled for next week on the 23rd. We will have to go to an adjoining county’s hospital, about a 20 mile drive. (The soonest we could get in our county was March 15th.)
So we’re losing 8 days, and don’t yet know which vaccine, Pfizer or Moderna, so we don’t know about timing the second dose. We had made reservations at an RV park in Florida based on our first appointment date, but may have to change them. Time will tell.
