It rained on and off throughout the night, the about 6 AM it started snowing. We actually had some lightening and thunder this morning.
At 8:30, when I went out to add wood to the boiler, there was a little over an inch on the ground.
There are lots of birds at Kathy's feeders this morning. She has posted some of the photos on Facebook. I took this photo out the kitchen window. The female cardinal is sitting on top of the snow on a branch.
I took the photo below at 11 AM. There is probably 7" of snow on the table top.
At our house we haven't gotten much wind, as you can see by the snow piled on the tree branches in the photos. Below is the tree at the end of our front porch, by the hot tub. Weatherbug says the wind is blowing at 20 mph, with gusts of 26 mph, but we are sheltered by all the trees.
Glad we decided not to go to church today. I'm sure we could have gotten out but may not have been able to get back down the drive to get home. The snow has let up a little, but it definitely is still snowing. It is supposed to keep snowing all day. I think we already have most of what we are going to get.
We went to Jefferson City yesterday, mostly because I wanted to buy a cordless Hitachi impact driver that was on sale at Menards. I also bought 10 gallons of diesel fuel for the tractor. It was almost full but it takes over half of a tank to plow our driveway. We also bought some groceries so we have no need to get out. I won't start working on the driveway until mid-morning tomorrow.
Hope you all have a good, and safe, day. May God bless you and yours.
