Winter is Back....

Jeff's right on that 80 degree Mid week temp. This morning we have 5 inches of mini-hail that has solidified into a 5 inch thick sheet of ice. I drove the 3/4 tone diesel Suburban out this morning and it didnt even crack the surface of the ice on the driveway.

It was quite entertaining this morning watching the three dogs run out the back steps into the backyard. No traction, they just kept going and going, sliding in circles and bouncing off each other like canine bumper cars. You could hear their nails scratching the ice the whole way, like a fingernails on a giant chalkboard. They actually enjoyed it. They keep wanting to go back out and play some more. Then of course the kids got the same idea and broke out the old snow-saucers.
