So far (knock on wood) we have dodged the bullet here at the Aerie. This time yesterday the forecast indicated we might get a foot of snow by this time today. Instead, we had only about an inch of snow this morning followed by another inch of pellets from freezing rain. The wind blew from the south most of the day and it wasn't until a little after noon that we got another little dusting of snow but that ended before one o'clock. We even got a little break in the clouds before sunset as the winds shifted around to the west-northwest and finally from the north.
According to the radar on Weather.com and AccuWeather.com we could still get some more snow tonight but certainly not the balance of the foot they forecast just a day ago.
The temperatures all day have been between 25 and 30 degrees. It's currently dropped back to 25-26 degrees but with the winds picking up, the wind chill makes it feel closer to 12-14 degrees.

We got the grand total of about zero inches of snow. Last I looked out the front door, the streets weren't even really slick. It's just been a damp, dank, lousy, gray kind of day.
Blah.
Both are an aggravation, but I'd rather have snow than freezing rain anytime. Actually, I'd rather have neither if it was up to me!
A least it was freezing rain as in pellets. Ice would have been a whole
'nother dilemma. Friends in Iowa and Missouri are just getting back their electricity.
