We had some freezing rain...ice pellets that accumulated to about 2" yesterday and now we are expecting another 6-10" of snow to go on top of the sleet/rain/ice pellets that have been dropping off and on during the evening tonight. I spent nearly 25 minutes yesterday morning just deicing the car before I could leave.
Isn't it supposed to be spring?
Our average high is 59* now and we have yet to even surpass 52* this year.
I guess about the only redeeming factor on April snow, it melts in a few days, as opposed to October snow that sticks around for 5 months.
On my yearly maintenance items list checked off today.....the snowblower got new belts today and an oil change. It is an oldie but goody, 1962 Montgomery wards all steel construction, heavier than heck beast. It doesn't throw the snow very far, has tiny solid rubber tires and only sports 5hp, but it starts the first pull every time and and has never given me any problems in 50 years (was my dads for the first 25 years.)
