The roads were clear enough for careful driving yesterday. It was still quite cold, never getting above freezing and we still had a winter wonderland landscape. Today the temperatures got above freezing and the snow began to melt. The trees were still heavy with snow when we left this morning to go to SC. By the time we returned, It had not melted that much here except that it mostly disappeared from the trees. The winds had blown it around so much while it was coming down Sunday and Sunday night, that there was a layer on every surface, vertical as well as horizontal.
Tomorrow the temperatures are supposed to rise into the 50's and it will be even warmer by Friday. We're grateful for this snow, not just because of the wonder of it's beauty, but because we still are in serious deficit numbers in our county for rainfall. The snow is the best way for raising the water.
