The view from here...

This is Iowa....changing weather...but never boring.
We've had freezing rain, mixed with some snow since Friday late afternoon. Friday evening was thunder, some lightning, freezing rain, sleet, snow, and lots of wind. We had everything but sunshine. Some people were without electricity for varying periods of time....Mom and Maynard (in southeast Iowa) were without power for 4 hrs yesterday. We had some flickering of lights and some loss of cable signals. But we were warm and not without food. It's nice to be inside where it's warm and cozy. The only thing lacking would be a fireplace.
Our "church" this morning was going to be Dr David Jeremiah (Turning Point) at 7:00 and then Charles Stanley (In Touch Ministry) at 8:00, but our cable is out for those stations. (I'm hopeful that we can see David Jeremiah as I believe he is on again at 12:00 on Fox network.) and can probably catch Charles Stanley on the net.




Here's our mailbox Saturday afternoon. And the mail came through sleet, rain, and snow. Huh! Guess they mean it.



Our driveway and sidewalk...



Sunday morning...notice how the rain froze slowly in sheets from the eaves.



Kevin assessing....yep, better go out and blow out the driveway. Looks awful wet and heavy.



As you can see, the blower didn't really "blow" the snow. It more or less just spat it out.



Had to hand shovel where the city plows came through. It's about 34 or 35 degrees out.



Then Kevin went across the street to help the neighbor. He came back into the house sweating.
I think we're supposed to get more snow today....and through Tuesday.
