Yikes

If the weather today does not warrant a summer picture nothing does. We went from 40s with heavy rain melting the piles of snow to COLD that created skating rinks on all the back roads and an odd sometimes slippery skim on the paved roads this morning. Then we were blessed with Heavy snowfall mixed with freezing rain during the day.

I just go off the phone with daughter #2. As parents are wont to do in bad weather I was checking on my offspring's wellbeing. Seems daughter #1 slid into a ditch on the way home but a nice teenager and a couple of local sheriff's deputies were able to push her out and get her on her way home. She was very fortunate in having the hurrying pick up truck pass her as she was loosing contact with the pavement but before she spun from the right lane across the left lane and into the median. The teenage girl behind her was not so fortunate. It will take a tow-truck to get her car out of the ditch on the other side. She did manage to get a ride home and was undamaged, as was daughter #1's car. Her car may be another story though.

So with a shiver here is a bit of summer.
Of course I couldn't post just one.
