First thing Sunday there’s a coat of ice on everything. Not going anywhere. That’s my car with the laundry room behind it.
All the salt which had been spread on Friday before the maintenance man went home has melted away.
A bit of snow may have fallen sometime but by 4 pm it had turned to light rain.
Made a stew of beans, left overs and spices- delighting in having elec.
At 4:30 there was only rain falling and no ice on walks, so I went to car where more ice was forming on top of old ice. I just cleared the keyhole and was grateful to start engine and run defroster a while.
Windshield view at 4:30
Windshield view at 4:50. I remembered that time to raise the wipers.
Sunset with temps still above freezing and puddles around, but no ice except on cars.
Forecast said about 10% chance of snow or sleet through the night.
Monday morning the sun came out and all is dry here but won't be above freezing for most of several days straight. There were a few flurries mid-afternoon Monday, while the blue sky was above and sun shining. Some clouds continue to slide over the southern ridge of the valley, we'll see what happens next!
Meanwhile the Walk for Peace continues east of Raleigh NC.
I finally found this photo, which I knew I'd saved! Governor Josh Stein, of NC, gave some recognition to the Venerable Monks.

...Barbara, be thankful that Fern petered out. Stay warm and well.
