A REALLY BAD SPELL OF WETHER

HWY. 13, SIOUX RIVER FLATS, YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

8:30 AM.  0 degrees F at the ferry dock, -1 on the back porch. Wind variable from the W, light to moderate with stronger gusts.  The sky is partly overcast, with fog over the channel, the humidity 83%.  We got several inches of lake effect snow again last night.  The barometer is beginning to fall, currently at 30.38".  We can expect snow on Friday and Saturday, with a possible accumulation of up to a foot of new snow.  It should then warm up, with mixed skies.  It is cold this morning, the snow crunching under foot.  I have been putting his jacket on Buddy; he is a short haired dog, after all.

      The truly awful weather continues, with bad roads and hazardous walking surfaces.  Even Buddy doesn't want to be outside longer than to raise a leg.  On top of that my internet is giving me trouble.       The photo was taken at about three o'clock yesterday afternoon while heading north on Hwy. 13 on the flats between the Sioux and the Onion Rivers, with blowing snow, heavy fog, oncoming headlights dim as lanterns, the road slick.
   This is really a bad spell of wether.
