Just thought I would post a couple more photos, with a probable update later today. Took these photos yesterday (Friday, January 12) at about noon when I ventured outside to clear the driveway. Didn’t quite get it all done because it was just too cold and windy, and the snow was still falling. I didn’t even attempt to clear the front porch… ain’t nobody coming to visit today anyway. 8^)
Maybe not as bad as predicted (at least per some predictions) but it was enough wet snow for me. Took almost an hour to clear using my EGO cordless snow-thrower (love it) and there’s more to be done before Mackenzie and I can leave for work in the morning.
Fortunately both Grinnell College and South Tama County schools were closed today. GC re-opens at noon tomorrow and STC just announced that they will be closed on Wednesday too.
Just came up from the basement after a Tama Co. tornado warning, and the wind is picking up again. 🌪 No visible damage outside, but I did find a puddle of pea size hail about 10 minutes after the storm.
