More Bad Weather
Weather here in the midwest has been a little strange, but it tends to happen during seasonal transitions. For a few days, it was in the 60s and even reached 72, but since then, we’ve seen temperatures range from highs of 31 to 57 or so. A snow storm is now making its way through the area now, and the ground temperatures are still a little warm, so much of the snow is melting instantly. This has created a lot of water and slush on the streets. Unfortunately, the city did a terrible job about planning for the snow. Early estimates suggested we’d get 8-12″, but that’s significantly lower now (1-3″). I wish the city would have put down a layer of salt first, as that would have improved the melting. The streets are going to get really ugly once that slush freezes tonight.
It will be here tomorrow. Swell.
I think it’s been 15 years since the last one of these April snowstorms.
