Trip to Syria: Step One - Istanbul

Super Sunday: Packers Win!

Ice Bowl: Day V

The side roads were still covered with snow and ice in places this morning. The freeway was almost totally clear, and later in the day the sun had melted most of the remaining ice on the side streets as the temperature climbed above freezing for the first time in 102 hours. But the forecast for tomorrow, Super Bowl Sunday, is for more snow!

Ice Bowl: Day IV

Ice Bowl: Day III

The snow and ice has not melted much since it fell on Tuesday morning.

Ice Bowl, Day II

Day two of this icy weather started with a temperature here of about 6 degrees! A neighbor tried to get to work but couldn't get off our street!

Three inches of snow on the driveway. Under that is an inch of ice!
