The clear skies allowed the temperatures to drop again but it also highlighted the fresh snow as it sparkled in the sunshine.

I looked like the Abominable Snowman when I came in from clearing the snow from the driveway for the second day in a row. Between the snow which was still falling and the snow blowing around, I was covered in that white stuff from head to toe. And when the wind picked up, the snow from the upper boughs crashed down creating an avalanche.

The trees were decorated in white again making a pretty winter scene but clearing the ten inches of that ‘pretty’ stuff off the driveway wasn’t so fun, especially when more snow is coming tomorrow.

The snow started this afternoon and at times it was very heavy which made it hard to see trees just 100 feet away. With all the snow that piled up throughout the day, it will take some time to clear the snow off the driveway since the early spring the rodent predicted hasn’t made its appearance yet.

I had to “play” with ice today since my cement was an ice rink and my driveway wasn’t in much better shape. It even took some pounding on the mailbox to get the door open which was coated in ice. I prefer to enjoy ice on other landscapes than my driveway, like the ice formations on the shore of Lake Superior.

There was moisture in the air today, but it was too warm for hoarfrost with temperatures above freezing which caused snow to melt and kept the day in fog.

According to Jimmy the Groundhog, Wisconsin’s official weather forecasting rodent, spring will come early which is good news after this week’s arctic blast. But Jimmy probably doesn’t appreciate getting tossed out of bed to make his prediction at sunrise especially if he stayed up late partying on Friday night. He did bite the ear of the mayor in 2015 so he must have been crabbier that year.

By noon today, the temperature rose to 7 above zero so people ventured out again to resume activities and even warm enough for ice cream for dessert.
