Apropos to the Wet Snow

Gently falling now,
The snow glistens in the yard,
All is clean for now.

The sleet and freezing rain started at 8:15 this morning (Thursday) and is continuing even now into Friday morning. We had some “thunder snow,” lots of freezing rain, some normal rain to melt everything together into bigger hunks of ice, and now more freezing rain. Supposedly, next up is some light fluffy snow. The amount of ice (several inches) is really quite amazing in and of itself. I'm glad I don't need to be anywhere for the next few days.
