Post Storm Update

Well, this storm has passed, it's melting remnants fading fast. There is still 2-3 inches of solid ice on many of the residential streets, but most is at the curb or in the center, passing cars have carved out the ice to find pavement in perfect tire tracks down most streets by today. I am driving chain free and enormously grateful. The main thoroughfares are snow free, but perpetually wet during the day. At night I am especially careful driving home form work just in case of ice. It is still hovering around 20 in the night, but reaching the pleasing 40s in the daytime. The sun coming in the door from about noon on is just delightful.

I was looking at the comparison pictures of this storm and thought, hmmm, I should post those. So here they are:

The street on storm day 1:

The street today. You can see the tire grooves in the street.

The house day one.

The house a week later.

The house this morning.

The sidewalk day one.

The sidewalk a week later.

The sidewalk today.

It has been fun watching the evolution of the shapes on the hedges as the snow melts.

The folks across the street do not get any afternoon sun when the temperatures are higher, so their snow is melting much slower than on this side of the street.

This was a lucky shot from the freeway the other night at dusk, doesn't do the natural beauty justice, but thought I'd post it anyway.

No more icicles, just a constant drip during the sunlight hours.

I wonder what next week will bring....
