[AT] Sleet

[Charlie V]

And that it did.  We ended up with 5-6 inches of very fine powder,
almost like dry sand.  Our temperature hung around 20 degrees.  Now
the weather guys are saying "Guess what?  The Storm missed us."  I was
in hopes all of the hype yesterday was overdone.

The current predictions now are for possible scattered freezing rain
and / or sleet. That offered extra incentive to get out at daylight
and get the shoveling, blowing, and plowing finished just in case.
The character of the snow might get ugly if it gets rained on and our
DSL internet was out as well so no second cup of coffee.  Now the snow
work is finished for the moment and the DSL is up so it appears all is
well.........except with all of that I forgot to feed the big dog and
give her her pills.  She probably thinks her throat is cut so we best
go feed her.
