You folks up in New England be careful... I looked at the Northeast radar/satellite and it looks like you folks are in for quite the winter storm! Wishing you all well through it!

Yes, we had 7 inches on snow on Saturday and then rain Sunday, was slippery for awhile but I stayed home putting up the tree and puttering around the house. Pellet stove was a humming. Sun came out just before sunset.

And now it's all turning to ice! We had 45 degrees today, now it's supposed to get down in the single digits. I was kind of enjoying the warmth myself!

Yes, going to be a deep freeze again. Roads will be icy in the AM. Yes, the warm temps today were just a tease.

Yep, got out the sand barrel and spread some on the big, ice covered stone outside the front door to the porch. DD1 and DD2 went to the movies. As expected, I watched some tire spinning trying to get up on the road. It isn't paved so no salt. They managed to get there and back. I was getting worried they had run into the ditch when they weren't home by 6:30 since the movie was 2 hours long and started at 4. It is only 15 minutes to town. Turns out DD2 wasn't paying enough attention, the movie started at 4:30, they got home at 6:45.

Glad your DD's made it home safe.
My husband went to the town sand pile and got a tote of sand. My son spread some on the driveway after the rain stopped. He did a clean up last night of all the snow before the rain. This morning with the rain and warm temps all the snow came off our metal roof and it was a bear to snow blow.
So wet.... Then my son did our deck out back but the snow hadn't come off the roof there, an hour later it all came down on the clean deck. 
Still there... will freeze overnight but I was so grateful for him clearing the snow. Should be able to walk across the top of the snow tomorrow if the temps drop like they say it will. As a kid I loved this, fast sledding...
