Kicken up the weather thread for the news of white weather.
Last night we had an inch to start, tomorrow Saturday we are getting between 8-10" the Pocono's are up to a foot....
The guys still did not get the pool down and put away. Just hoping the wind expected does not bring the trees down onto the power. I am staying home but the ds and dgs have tickets to Ringling Bros. Circus tomorrow. I hope the worst is over by the time they leave.

I just can't believe the weather this year. We had weeks of 88* 90* which we are lucky to see a three day heat wave. Then the rain is at 53" normally about 23" for the year, and only an inch off the all time YEARLY high. We will break that already and it is only Octber.
Still awake at 4:30 AM....I better get to sleep but still have one kid not home yet. Just texted now to get home before the weather starts turning bad.
Be safe BF and warm.
Di

Dear Di,
Did you get rain or snow? Either way, that much at one time can be such a mess. Be safe.

What a day, we ended with a foot of snow. My grandson had a blast on the old barn hill sleigh riding, and making a snow fort. This really stinks for the kids trick or treating tomorrow night.

I got called out for work. Nearby Interstate 80 had a 37 truck and car pile up closing the roadway for 4 hrs. The trucking company that called our agency needed me on scene for photos, driver interview and transport for chemical testing.
The first tractor trailer jack knifed and the two tractor trailers our company covered could not avoid impact with the first one, and then a Jeep Cherokee that slide off the road, regained traction and sliding onto the roadway hitting the second tractor trailer in the trailer wheels.

I waited for the driver of our truck to be cut out of the tractor, the company waived chemical testing and requested that I assiste in getting the three people to a hotel they arranged near the exit. I felt bad for the driver of the one truck his fingers were cut all up and leg/hip so much pain. The other driver hung up truck driving. Said he was not fit, too much and we had to arrange for him to get a bus ticket home today.

The company I work for was very lucky that this incident was only a few miles from my home. With a foot of snow I normally could not get out, but lucked out with plow traveling the highway ahead of me. But the few mile trip ended up being a 4 hr ordeal. DH drove me, his work had cancelled as the place he provided weekend security closed due to weather. With being gone away the several days I needed the over time work and was fortunate it worked out the way it did. BUT, if the roads had not been decently cleaned and treated, I would never have left the house.

Today I have to get to the tow yard for vehicle photos and estimate for the damages. I have a senior adjuster that will work the numbers.

Dear Di,

Stay safe. Your pictures are amazing.

Hi,

Tonight the temp will go down to the mid 50s and up a bit to the 70s late in the day. I'm not anxious tonight --- sometimes my anxiety is less on days when I can completely stay home and not even talk to anyone on the phone.
