Snowed In! - Jan 14 - 24

January 14: Temperatures dropped all day and it started snowing after dark.  

10:30 pm

January 15:  Low 25, High 31; snowed all day.

By noon, 

By 2:15 pm there was about 5 inches

By 6:45 we had almost 9 inches and still snowing

January 16: Snow has finally stopped falling but the temperatures kept falling, from 24 down to 9 in the afternoon.

We ended up with almost a foot of snow!

January 17, 3 pm, I finally ventured out and walked a down to the corner.

January 19: Highs are still barely above freezing at 34 and overnight low was 11.  Not much progress melting, despite the sun.

The pond is still completely snowed under.

Chili time!

Day 4 and the snow is still deep and we aren't going anywhere!

January 20: We are finally seeing some melt from the sun, but temperatures remain below freezing, down to 7 last night.

January 23:  Yesterday and today the afternoons have warmed, today to 56.  We were able to get the KIA out yesterday, but the 2nd driveway is still too slick to risk the RV.  We were scheduled to leave for our Florida trip yesterday.  Maybe tomorrow!

January 24: On the 12th day the ice and snow finally began to melt but we still didn't feel like it was safe to get the RV down one driveway and up the other. Instead we spent the day finishing our packing and preparations in anticipation of a Thursday morning departure.
