From snow to thunder

The weather wizard called for snow and rain today, with the predicted snow depths changing throughout the day yesterday. When I first saw the storm warning yesterday snow around my house was predicted at between 3 and 5 inches. Before I turned in last night, that had changed, with a new forecast of 1 to 3 inches. This morning? The prediction was once again calling for 3 to 5 inches of snow.

The snow was steadily falling when I woke. It snowed and snowed and snowed some more (yes, about 5 inches worth!). At one point this morning the conditions in my area were listed as "snow fog". Then, at about 12:30, I heard the sound of rain pelting against the windows. Early evening brought the sound of thunder, flashes of bright light. It's still raining...

It was a good day to work at home, to not need to brave the roads.

I think I'm glad that I'll be escaping to the desert tomorrow.
