Storm, freezing rain

Yes, everyone be careful on that ice and while shoveling snow..take many breaks.
Cover your mouths...that cold air plays havoc on the bronchi and lungs!

Just remember spring is on its way. We just need to get through February!

You mean it isn't just me? I don't remember this happening when I was
younger.

I hung on to the fence all the way out to the trash container yesterday
as the ground is covered by ice.I did notice it hurt to breath the extremely
cold air.

We had snow overnight, then sleet and freezing rain for about 2 hours early this morning -- between 5 and 7 am. Since then, it has been all rain, what a slushy mess!

Against my better judgement, I went out to see if I could get my car out of my space. It's pouring out and freezing on contact. I tried to get my car out, but it's so icy out, it's not going anywhere.

I'm now back inside, soaking wet. When will this end??? We've been getting show on a weekly basis. If they want me to get my car outta my spot to plow, they're gonna have to give me a push.

I live in the Dallas area, so a lot of the people coming down for the Super Bowl brought shorts and shirt sleeves! It is very, very cold here.....Lots of sleet...very little snow....on Tuesday morning....temperature won't get above freezing until maybe Friday. They've been turning everyone's power off for periods of 15 minutes or so periodically throughout the day. No school on Tuesday or today....The temp hasn't gotten above 17 or 18 today with windchills about 0-3....I haven't gotten out of the house except to let the pups out to do their business in the yard to the left and right of the front porch...LOL Glad I have two snuggling springers to keep me warm!

I am back inside now, for the first time in hours - we had probably 5 inches of snow, then sleet then rain, so basically I was pushing slush and trying to beat the clock before it all turns to ice! I certainly do not need any more exercise today!

One of the highlights of the yuckiness was our neighbor pup Roxy, she's a German Shepherd rescue gal who has been here for maybe 2 months now, a rescue from down South, and she was having a fabulous time leaping through the snowbanks while her person walked on the street. She came bounding toward me, and we had a good wiggly patting session, then she leapt to a higher snowbank and look oh-so-proud surveying the land! Roxy might be 8 months, not sure, black and tan and all energy, but her person told me "If these snowbanks get any higher, I'm gonna have to buy a longer leash just so she can reach the top and I can stay here on the ground!
