Blizzard of 2022?

We have entered a pattern of weather here where at least once a year - typically February - we have an ice event.  This year was no exception.  No camping plans had been made and our plans had been to stay home anyway.

The system rolled through Wednesday night, and the schools and college made the call early: cancelled classes.

  

About 2.5 inches of rain fell then was filled by sleet all the next day.  Not as dramatic as last winter but still enough to shut things down.  Even the local grocery stores and Walmart announced closure for Friday, which saw a refreezing over Thrusday night.  Temps in the high teens and low 20's throughout the spell. 

I am glad for our energy efficient log home and wood stove.  It makes a "snow" day a comfortable experience inside.
