Even More Snow and Ice!

It’s been a good year for snow. Not that we’ve really had any significant accumulation but its better than nothing! Yesterday, it snowed for a little bit but turned to freezing rain earlier than expected. This resulted in an accumulation of ice on top of the snow. And then it snowed a bit more this morning. Luckily, this combination of snow and ice wasn’t too bad. Most surfaces hadn’t really been cleared of snow yesterday and luckily were not slippery today!

It Snowed Again!

We weren’t really expecting to get a good amount of snow today but we did! It was only a few inches, 3 to 4, but it stuck really nicely to the ground and trees! Definitely the prettiest snow this season.

More Snow, More Ice

While yesterday morning was very icy with rather dangerous sidewalks, today was quite a bit different. Most surfaces had been cleared of ice by yesterday afternoon and were covered with a light layer of snow, perhaps an inch or two at most, overnight.

Snow and Ice

Yesterday, it snowed about 3 inches in the morning and afternoon. Overnight, it transitioned to rain leaving everything encased in ice.

The Great Conjunction of 2020

Yesterday, we tried and failed to observe the Saturn and Jupiter planetary conjunction due to clouds moving in around sunset. Today, we drove to Kerr Dam and Reservoir in Virginia near the border with North Carolina to get clear and dark skies.
