80 degrees on Tuesday, today snow

I'm in Richmond, praying that we don't get a repeat of the ice that wouldn't die. I was stuck inside for a week with my sweet, bewildered dog. The ice was as thick and hard as a brick and as slick as a skating rink.

I don't care if it's Virginia, where I am now, or east Tennessee, where I used to be. It's March.

Just enough to make my steps slippery and cause me to slip (but not fall... I caught myself). We don't need two people in the same house using a can and rollator! One of needs to be the mobile one.

It was 85 yesterday, and we got a little over 1" of snow today, with windchills in the 20's.
