It's interesting that last year the 40s nearly froze me to death, but after last week of below 20 temps, this week feels mild.
The neighborhood streets are ridiculously bad and not a plow in sight. The freezing weather last week just kept all that snow for the sun to turn to mush this week as the temperatures rise to spring like 40's. This is the driveway entrance yesterday. Sunday night I could not have gotten in the driveway without those chains on my tires. The chains are both a blessing and a curse, as I have to drive on the good, plowed, snow free streets no more than 25 mph in the right lane - I hate it and so do all the other drivers racing past me. However, I do not see what choice I have since I can't get home without them. Last night I was pulled over by Sparks police making sure I wasn't drunk, nice. It struck me as funny because I was never pulled over when I did drink and drive.
The management at Dotty's building was great about getting our parking lot plowed and accessible, till you got to the street that is. This was Sunday morning after light fluffy snow on Saturday night. I was so happy to be driving with chains that morning.
This was sunset last Thursday outside Pep Boys.
The icicles are really cool, and when the sun hits them just right they sparkle. Yesterday when I took these it was foggy and stayed that way all night. Deep thick fog, that made me feel like I was back at the beach. Reno folks were freaked out, I guess they don't see much fog -- they all drove way to fast.

After I took these pics, I knocked these down, before someone got hurt.
Winter would be really great if I could hibernate and never leave the house. Today I am about a week away from my period, which makes me take an extra breath when snow feels like such an effort. It's just one more thing that forces me to find the beauty, and I can only be grateful.
