Well it’s been an interesting couple of days. The storm started yesterday around noon. It’s about 10 AM Monday right now. The blizzard warning has been extended to 4 PM today. There was a few moments of a lull in the wind so I went out on the front porch with the Gopro and took this:
So that’s what it looked like a few minutes ago. And that was during a lull in the wind. The winds just kicked back up to about 30 mph+ so I came back in fast. There are times when it’s so bad I can’t even see the house across the street.
Every city, town and county around here, including ours, has declared a state of emergency and I think the governor put the whole state under a state of emergency. All secondary roads throughout this county and most of the others around us are closed. They’re telling people do not drive. Don’t even think about driving. If you do try driving and get stuck, you’re on your own. Not even tow trucks are being allowed out on the roads.
Everything, and I mean everything is closed. Outside of town visibility is literally zero and I’ve been hearing reports called in from people living out in the country of 6 – 8 foot high drifts across the roads in some areas.
And one day it will be all gone …

Yep. There’s a good chance it will be mostly gone by the end of the week. By Thursday we’re supposed to have temperatures up in the mid-40s. And about 2 weeks ago temperatures here were about 70. Weather here has been very weird this past year.
