Lots of snow this weekend but much more panic! All day Friday and all day Saturday the news was the winter storm. It moved up the Ohio River valley and dropped 10 ½” of snow on Northern Kentucky, mostly late Friday night on through the morning on Saturday. By late Saturday afternoon it had moved through and news moved to the digging out. Friday night all three local network TV stations dropped their scheduled prime time programs to broadcast local weather for an hour before their regular 11:00 PM newscast. The local newspaper had a link on their website so you could tell them “how the snow affected you.”
Good grief! It’s early March and we had snow. That’s news?! I must admit it was quite a contrast to last weekend when I was able to go hiking in the woods but I can’t help but wonder what people in Minnesota or New England think when we go into instant panic mode because a snow storm is moving through.
Today is white, sunny and beautiful. And it looks like the snow will melt quickly with warmer weather in the next few days reaching the mid 50s by Wednesday.
And soon, spring!
