2011 November 9

SNOW!

First snow of the season has descended upon us.

First snow of the season, November 9, 2011. 1-3" in our area.

          The snow was very wet and heavy.  Parts of Des Moines were/are without power because of dropped power lines and trees.  Lots of accidents early (4-5) this morning when the snow began to accumulate.

Strange how the first snow or even the first rain after a dry spell, brings out the worst drivers.  Or maybe it is just the drivers with the shortest memory, who have forgotten how to drive when the streets become wet.

          The sun is out now and the temps are to be in the mid 40’s so this snow will not last.  It should have a chance to soak in before the temps drop into the 20’s tomorrow morning.

          We had an abbreviated number of men at our Bible study this morning.  I am assuming the snow was the cause of people not choosing to drive in from the suburbs.
