Well, I got ready for work this morning, broke my car door free from its icy prison, and started the car so it would de-ice. (This ice was too thick to remove with my ice scraper.)
I came back in the house to watch the weather while the car thawed.
To my surprise, Columbus and Franklin County had issued a Level 2 Snow Alert. (It was Level 1 when I went to bed last night.) My boss had said not to come in today if the level was raised to levels 2 or 3...so I'm staying home today.
Below are a few photos I snapped from
INSIDE Bob's apartment.
Notice that the ice on the limbs are
as thick as the limbs themselves.
Good thing Ohio doesn't boast pines
like the South!
I had Blackie completely ice- and
snow-free yesterday after work.
A few icicles hanging from the roof...
The temperature right now is 12 with a windchill of -3.
Below are descriptions of the snow alert possibilities:
Winter weather often means hazardous driving conditions. Knowing the facts about Franklin County’s Snow Emergency levels can mean the difference between arriving safely at your destination and not arriving at all. The Sheriff may close county, township, state, or municipal roads within his jurisdiction for preservation of the public peace.
Level 1—Snow Alert: Roadways are hazardous with blowing and drifting snow. Roads are also icy. Drive carefully.
Level 2—Snow Advisory: Roadways are hazardous, with blowing and drifting snow. Only those who feel it is necessary to drive should be out on the roadways. Contact your employer to see if you should report to work.
Level 3—Snow Emergency: All roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel. No one should be out during these conditions unless it is absolutely necessary to travel. All employees should contact their employers to see if they should report to work. Those traveling on the roadways may subject themselves to arrest.
