Mixing it up

Lynne Robinson, Hewitt, New Jersey

As I type this entry, a frigid wind is driving a wintry mix of snow/sleet against the windows. It’s kind of a cozy sound, not much different than rain. Tap, tap, tap. Like grains of rice being thrown against them. It falls in blinding white sheets of frozen precipitation. BRRR. It’s now turning to ice and accumulating in piles that look like pillars of salt. Bizarre. I wish it was snow instead of this.

Rick is on his way home from work now at 12:30 p.m. I hope he makes it okay. Hopefully they’ve been out sanding the roads.

Uh, oh. The lights just flickered. Oh no.

I think the expression on this Blue Jay’s face says it all.

As the storm passes you, it is going to intensify and headed this way. We are expecting the ice pellets and freezing rain first, then it will turn to heavy rain, about 25 millimetres are expected that and 100 km/h winds. Interesting
I, thought the Blue Jays wintered farther south.

Just after I wrote this entry, the ice turned to huge flakes of snow. It’s been snowing ever since, but is now stopping. Much better than the ice pellets!

Beware, Paula!
