Sleet And Ice

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 18 degrees, high 42 degrees, clear skies, ice and sleet everywhere

Last night, after I wrote the post for yesterday, we had a lot of sleet fall in this area. When we got up this morning, the ground was white with the sleet and a little snow. The highway between Glen Rose and Granbury was iced over, and it did not melt until well up in the morning. Traffic was very light, and the drivers seemed to be taking their time. The schools were closed, and a lot of people stayed home from work.

Here's some pictures I took of the sleet and ice.

































We didn't go outside after I took the pictures above until after lunch because it was so slippery and cold. At that time, most of the ice had melted. I was able to take a walk, and the conditions were good, with temperatures in the low 40s. After the walk, I cleaned the ice off our steps (the sun did not shine on them all day), and did a couple more little chores outside.

It was another slow day because of the weather. Maybe tomorrow will bring more interesting events.

More later, be safe.
