Icy Conditions

True to the weather forecast, it started snowing late this morning. By mid-afternoon it was turning to sleet. Our uphill neighbor stopped by for a visit about that time and reported road conditions still good except for the ice on the little bridge. After leaving our house she got the car only part way home then abandoned it. About an hour later her husband came home in a little two-wheel drive rental car and parked it down on the paved road, about one mile from their house because it was slipping and sliding on the first hill on the gravel road. We saw them both in foul weather gear with hiking sticks headed up the mountain. The big question now is: Will they be able to get out tomorrow for their long awaited trip to warmer climes? And will we be able to get out Friday for our much anticipated trip to Metairie? We aren’t snowed in like Boston right now but we’ve got some winter weather challenges also.
