we got another 4 to 5 inches of snow overnight, not too big a deal. the primary issue now is the wind. we have 40 mph gusts blowing all that snow around causing really poor visibility if you have to be on the road. another concern was being able to keep my long drive open with just the plow truck. sometimes the high winds will pack the snow in tight, and its like trying to plow through wet cement. fortunately, i was able to clear the drive without an issue. my road is more than likely drifted in by my elderly farmer neighbors house. large open field with nothing to stop the wind. drifts can pile up in short order. gusts are now over 50mph.

this time of year late winter, our weather turns schizophrenic. we go from one extreme to another. warmer sunny day is followed by blizzard. next day is all nice and sunny, followed by another snow storm.
the good news is after today mess, we are expected to get some warmer sunny weather for several days in a row.
