This is what we woke up to. Actually, this morning was very challenging delivering the newspaper. At four in the morning, the roads are lacking the needed attention they need when the wind is blowing 3-4 inches of light powdery snow with 15-20 mph winds. We did notice some plows going through the main roads of Lincoln around 5:00 a.m.
I don't think we got anymore snow overnight; however, the snow we did have has been replaced every where. The drifts resemble sand dunes. They are pretty to look at, but they are quite challenging to drive through. This morning when we let Chloe out for her morning business, she stepped off the front porch into a huge drift. I don't think she liked it either. Matter of fact, as she walked to the side of the house to make her way down to the back yard she found herself in a deeper drift. So, she never made it to the back yard because you could tell she wasn't too thrilled about the depth of the snow.
We are currently under some kind of winter storm and blizzard warning till Saturday. They had said we might get two more inches of fresh snow through out the day and then another two inches over night tonight with 30 mph winds. That will definitely make deliverying the paper in the morning very very challenging!!
Oh yeah, we've been told this is nothing yet. It is just the beginning!! Apparently, January is the month of high winds, you know 40 to 50 mph winds. It isn't as much about the quantity of snow as it is about how cold it gets and how windy during the winter months here.
