We dodged another bullet on last night's storm. We got a lot of heavy rain and it didn't start snowing until well after 5 a.m. this morning. Although it's pretty windy now, the sun's out and we only got about an inch and a half of very, very wet snow. Gerry shoveled the tire paths on the driveway this morning and it's already clear and dry. But the low spot in our backyard looks like a lake. Lots of water. I'm so very grateful that the temp never dropped enough for the storm's moisture to change over to freezing rain or that much snow. Denise, how bad is your area today? I haven't had a chance to really check out The Weather Channel this morning. I hope you're as lucky as we were but, being in Iowa, I'm thinking that you're probably going to get hit bad by this storm. Stay warm and safe. -- Piggy's Pad

We got some mist and rain in the night but it didn't start snowing till about 6 a.m. First it looked like white rain, 10 minutes later heavy large flakes...kept changing appearance. We got plently, it quit this afternoon but now is blowing something fierce. Leon went to feed the dogs and says we might not get off our street come morning. Hope Leon shovels cause this heavy stuff about kills me. (NT) -- D, 3:08:29 pm, Sun, 02/17/08
we had some nasty freezing rain yesterday morning.....about did a donut in my driveway when I went to leave to go into my Dad's!!! But thankfully it warmed up and the ice melted..plus it took a lot of the snow with it, so I ran out this morning and did the "poop patrol" in the back yard....love getting that cleaned up...really makes me feel like I've accomplished something, and also gives me hope that Spring is right around the corner!!
