Friday Update

Today's Forecast: Cloudy in the morning then becoming partly sunny. Occasional snow early in the morning...then light snow likely late in the morning. Scattered flurries in the afternoon. Snow accumulation around 1 inch. Total snow accumulation 4 to 13 inches. High in the mid 20s. North wind 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 90 percent. Wind chill readings to 1 below. It doesn't look nearly as bad outside as I had expected this morning. Everyone drive safely please...

Doug survived the trip to the Vets Hospital with my Dad. He also got a lot of exercise pushing him all over the hospital in a wheel chair. It sounds like it was a good thing Doug took him, one of the doctors he had to see was of Indian origin and my Dad could not understand him. Doug did the translating for him. By the end of the visit the Doctor was looking at Doug to ask the questions and my Dad was looking at Doug to answer. They still don't have many answer to what is wrong. Hopefully the blood an urine samples they took will reveal something.

We had some sleet and then a little snow overnight. I do not look forward to cleaning the ice off from the van windows. It is very hard to reach them and scrape with enough force to clear them. I will need to warm the car for a long while this morning.
