The snowpocalypse is coming! All 4cm of it.

I will prepare by setting my alarm 15 minutes early to give me more time to brush off the car tomorrow and give me more time to get to work so I can drive a bit slower.

Honestly not sure why there's a warning, this is standard weather when it starts to warm up. It's been in the -20's and colder so it has not been snowing much.

Read EC's warning and it's mostly for low visibility hampering driving. Blowing snow has been a big problem this year.

So I survived today, they were not joking when they said 4cm. I think it was even less than that. Got up early for nothing. Was at work 10 minutes early. :p

Got up into the 40s (F) today, which was really nice, and it's going to be in the high 40s/low 50s for the weekend. Need to get outside. :p

May have a foot of snow on the ground here by tomorrow night. (That's 30cm. Probably have 20cm now.)

we're suppose to get between 10 and 20 cm of snow today with the risk of freezing rain.

If you read the warning it essentially says.

"WARNING, SNOW, USE COMMON SENSE"

I just realized that it's snowing outside. I've been outside for quite a bit of the morning, but barely noticed. We got about 1/4 inch so far; The only thing it made me think is that the 30 bales of straw that I tossed on a tarp in front of the barn are going to have to be smacked a bit before tossing up into the loft.

And, it was finally warm this morning - almost 32 degrees. The neighbor's have ducks on their pond. They keep a pump running a fountain of water to keep a small section unfrozen. With the extreme cold temps of the last week, it resulted in a completely frozen pond and a mountain of ice. So, this morning was the de-icing the pond party. A lot of well placed tannerite, and a well placed shot from a rifle = BIG boom. No more ice mountain. Scared the shit out of the goats.
