Snow. Ice. Leaves. We've had a serious bout of weather lately here, which began last Monday after Beth and I raked leaves. We had all evening to enjoy our leaf-free lawn, because during the night we got a wind / rain storm which buried the lawn in leaves again even worse than it had been before, then Tuesday night it snowed 3-4 inches. Hardly anyone showed up to work on Wednesday, and Thursday was pretty sparse too. The snow is still here except it's turned into frozen slush now because it's warmed up (at least above freezing) and then last night it got COLD. I and several other guys helped a family from our church move yesterday, and I'm glad I didn't have to drive the Ryder truck because the getting cold part happened right in the middle of the moving. We got some black ice around here. And it's still cold.
