We are nearing the end of the second week of the New Year. As statistics go, we are currently averaging one snow fall a week. Our first snowstorm, of the year, was minor. By that I mean, there was snow covering the ground, but nothing sticking to our miles and miles of city streets. However, the second storm was a big whoop!
Snowplows, sand and salt on the streets, car crashes, multi vehicle pile-ups and below freezing temperatures. I just saw a photo of a car stuck in a creek, in my neighborhood. It was a major snowfall, for sure. Hundreds of businesses and homes are currently without electricity, due to heavy snow on elevated wires. As I type, another major drop in temperature and multiple inches of snow are due, in a little over 24 hours. That new storm is going to mess up our "once-a-week average".
But. look folks. It's winter. We live in the Midwest, for gosh sakes. None of this weather should be a surprise. My best advice, as a seasoned weather survivor, is to just "RELAX". Hunker down for a day or so, if you can. Don't go anyplace. Frankly, one day of staying home, won't hurt anyone. Cancel your appointments and your scheduled lunch with a friend. Pull some mystery meat out of the freezer, warm it up and eat it. Step outside and build a snowman.
Snow melts. Spring is just a couple of months away.
Just let it go. Take a snow day.

Good and great God. Weather is part of Your plan. Worry doesn't help. Snow and ice do not melt with worry. We are in Your hands.
