The Sun!

Woke up to a bright sunny morning.My first thought was... has Spring arrived after this deep freeze and snowy week.Oh to my utter dismay Spring has not arrived and this is what greets me out my back door.Aren't those some huge icicles.Maybe I should start taking pictures of icicles instead of snow.That would be something different.

Sure is nice to see the sun although they are saying that we are expecting more snow this afternoon.What, more snow? Think we have had enough snow to last us the rest of the winter.We haven't seen the bare ground in 3 weeks since the big snow storm on December 18th.

It is only 14 outside.Our road hasn't been treated since Thursday.They plowed and treated our road on Thursday morning to get rid of the last snow and ice before it started up again.Although the sun is shining it is too cold for any kind of treatment to work on the back roads where there isn't much traffic.

Maybe we will see the plow sometime this weekend.From what I have heard they want to get all roads clear and open so that schools can reopen on Monday.There is a hint in the forecast that more snow may be heading our way Monday night and Tuesday.

Schools on the Virginia side of the area opened on Monday after their 2 week winter break but haven't been back since then due to all of this snowy and cold weather.Our grandson was happy to return to school this past Monday.Little did we know that it would be the only school day that week.Schools on the WV side where we live did not open and have been closed since they got out for their winter break.

Now the question is....when will we see the bare ground again? We have tickets to take our grandson to the Rascal Flatts concert in Charleston WV on the 23rd which is two weeks from today.We want to go and don't want any wintry weather to keep us home.Charleston is only 100 miles north of us up the WV Turnpike.Please,please,please give us a nice weekend on the 23rd:)
