March Weather is Unpredictable

 

We live on a hill about 500 ft above sea level. That's just enough elevation to give us snow at 32 degrees. That's what we woke up to this Friday morning.

Because nothing was frozen, the snow turned to shush when it was driven on, so driving wasn't bad and we made it to breakfast in Des Moines, where it is at sea level and there was very little snow. 

We celebrated an early St Patrick's Day.

Jan brought the table decorations. 

But it never stopped snowing! It's a good thing it stayed just above freezing or by now, after 5:00, we would have 6-8 inches of snow. 

Don't stand under trees or you might get great big plops of wet snow on your head or down your neck. But while it was accumulating, it was very pretty.

We made it into the city for my finger physical therapy with no trouble, then to the Safeway for grocery shopping. The parking lot was slushy/messy, but we managed. 

Now Tom has mastered installing some new electronics.

I guess I should get some dinner cooked. 

It was a productive day.

And it's still snowing!
