Snow And Sleet In Middletown, CT

Snow And Sleet In Middletown, CT.  Yesterday we did not get the amount of snow predicted, but the unexpected sleet which fell on top of it made it worst than if we had gotten the additional snow.  I am thankful it was not the 36" of snow we got back in February, but the sleet added it's own special twist.

This snow storm is the first significant snow storm we have had this Winter, and dumped more snow on us than the one we had at about the same time last year.  My next door neighbor was away, so his wife, daughter, and grandson were alone.  If the snow storm had just been snow, his wife and daughter might have been able to clear it themselves, but sleet on top of snow is a whole other story.  So besides clearing my driveway, walkways, and cars, I cleared off their driveway, walkways, and car as well.  It felt good to help, and to know my neighbor did not have to be concerned about his family's safety while he is away, but my body had a different opinion the next day .... LOL.

I have a feeling the Snow And Sleet In Middletown, CT yesterday is just a taste of what is in store for us this Winter.  Below is a picture of my happy face while I was clearing the snow off of driveway.

George, I wish I could send you our warmer weather although this year is starting off colder than normal for Texas. I read one of Gary post that he posted yesterday that it snowed in Egypt....that is scary stuff. Keep warm my friend.

Joe it was a good work out with all the sleet on top of the snow.  I was glad I had the big snowblower :)

Debbie you are right and the sourness was worth it.

Michael it is proving to be that already.

Sally and David, and the forecast is that we are going to get more of the white stuff tomorrow.

Anita, I would like to be in a warm place like you are right now :)

Bob I saw the same news broadcast.  I don't think they knew what to do with the snow.

Barbara I replaced my smaller snowblower with that one last year and I am sure glad I did.

Lisa the snowblower has already proven to be worth every penny I paid for it.

Joe I would rather have the snow we got than the freezing rain that you got.  I don't like driving in the ice.

Ed, I don't think you would have a big smile if you had to go out and shovel 8" of the white stuff ...... LOL

Joan I could use the 60 degrees to melt away what we have before more comes :)

Pat and Steve, you are right and I was happy I was able to do it.

What a good neighbor you are George. And the fact you had a good attitude and a smile on your face makes it even better. This looks to be a really wet and cold winter ahead.

George... be safe out there and stay healthy. You're dealing with some strange and unusual weather. Yesterday I was chiseling ice; today I was raking wet leaves. Our climate changes are a challenge.

Wow George, That is a Happy Face! Keep that snow blower in working order this season.  The rope broke on my starter, so it is back to the shovel for now.
