We are currently under a Winter Storm Warning issued by the National Weather Service. It ends with the words:A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW...
SLEET...AND ICE ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.
Of course, right now from the front door of the house, it all looks rather peaceful and anything but hazardous. Tomorrow at school-run/commuting time it may seem slightly different. Normally the weather forecasters are willing to make a good stab at the accumulation of snow expected, but today they're hedging their bets talking about when the snow will 'transition over' to sleet, freezing rain and 'even some light rain'. Whatever we may wake up to, it looks very pretty this evening.
I've been coughing my way through the work day today (including starting the car on six separate occasions thanks to the recharged battery) and I'm feeling a bit tired this evening - hence the earlier post - hopefully to be followed by a long and uninterrupted night's sleep.
I've just come across this great website that you might be interested in http://www.worldometers.info/
