When I woke up at 5:00 this morning, the outside temperature was 3°. It is now 9°.
The high temperature for today is forecast to be about 38°. But there will be winds that will chill things even further.
The National Weather Service says there is a "slight" chance for snow showers tomorrow night. That is a revision of their earlier forecast that this week will be sunny, but cold.
Thankfully, much of the snow from Thursday night has melted off the roads.
I almost had a mishap yesterday morning as I was heading down to the Flying J for coffee. I was driving the Mustang down the hill and got to the curve near the community bulletin board. There is also a cattle guard there. As I made the turn at the curve, the car slid on the icy road and I almost hit one of the cattle guard wings that sticks up 20-25 degrees. I thought for sure that the car's side would be crunched up. But, fortunately for me, I came to a stop about an inch or two from the wing. It was a good thing that I was driving slow.
When I got to the Flying J, I was telling the guys about my close call. Each one has had similar experiences with snow driving at one time or another.
