Palm Sunday Winter Storm

[Bob Riebe]

Went to chuch this morning and it was snowing; the kind where the snow is more like little beads than flakes.
Church congregation was far smaller than normal for Palm Sunday.

Supposeldy we may get up to 10 inches in the next 24 hours but I would not bet a plug nickle on how correct that forecast is.
It does look and feel more like early December than late March  but we need the moisture.

Have a Blessed Palm Sunday.

Passover was to be on a full moon ,the 25th did you miss  Palm Sunday by 7 days

Lots of rain and thunder and lightning
here that's blowing past to the northeast.
Lots of it, so I'm sure that a goodly
amount will be frozen by the time it
gets a hundred miles northward

We got some snow thursday through Saturday..a foot or so, but it is warming.   Just 50 degrees now...

  Church services well attended, despite snow.

we got about a foot but its raining this morning and most of it is gone

Well the extended storm that hit on Palm Sunday, hit full force all day and night yesterday.

Ten inches, of wet heavy snow; I shoveled it by had as I had never dragged out the snowblower up North and was not going to do it and find out it would not start.
Took me awhile to do it by hand (broke my new-used plastic shovel) and found out the old flat aluminum shoves work FAR, FAR better on such snow than the plastics things you find nowadays.

The worst was where people, including me, had walked on it before it was shoveled.
Mail man did not show up  yesterday, and has not been here yet today; maybe there is no mail to be delivered but then,  the postal service in this town is a shadow of what it was twenty some years ago.

Don't exactly need hip waders here
yet
But it was getting close.
Can't walk through the yard
with regular shoes. Have to
wear some of my old rubber
bottom hunting boots

Standing water everywhere

FWIW:‘I use an aluminum grain shovel   Works just fine picks up a lot of snow.

[Graybeard]

I don't use a snow shovel, we don't have snow where I live. I do however have one of those aluminum grain shovels I used to use when my neighbor brought over the wood chips and goat manure for me. Worked well for that, bet it would for snow if we ever got any to worry about.

[Bob Riebe]

I finally had to dig out of the shed one of those aluminum scoop shovels.
They plowed the alley and shoved all in my direction.
I needed it to break loose large chunks of iced snow.

I decided today to finally snow blow the whole parking lot driveway; where I had thrown snow from shoveling or there were large piles where it had been broomed of of cars were hard chunks the snow blower wanted to ride up over.
Only good thing about heavier snow , if you have to blow it into a wind, not much blows back in your face.

It took me three hours but even though it is only 24 degrees out side with the sun a lot higher in the sky now, it feels warmer.

This time of year if you don’t have snow you have rain. If it’s gonna snow or rain, I guess I’ll just let it...
