SNOW WEEK IN NEWPORT

The SuperBowl is over and those who attended in person are now stuck in airports because of the weather.  Here in Newport is snowed all day, with the promise of more brought by a larger system starting early Wednesday morning and then another storm on Sunday. All of these will be sandwiched by cold weather.

I was astonished by the number of cars skidding off the road while we were driving around taking these photographs.

SNOW DAY

The snow started around 3 pm yesterday here, It stopped at about 11 pm, given that I had plans for today I thought I would shovel and be done with it. There was not a breath of air and quite warm. No sooner did I finish than it snowed another two inches which I shoveled again this morning, at which point the wind had come up and the temperature was 20 degrees, with sun.

The forecast is for more snow at the end of the week.
