Home now & it is snowing hard. Thinking about it now I think this is the longest period of time (5 days) since we have lived in Springfield that we have had frozen precipitation on the ground continuously. I know there was one time we had a deeper snow & Jina build an igloo on the back deck that lasted for over a month but the rest of the snow had left the ground after only a few days. It just never got warm enough to melt the igloo. There were periods of time when I was a kid that snow/ice stayed on the ground for up to a month but not in the last 26 years.
The snow is okay but they are calling for about an inch of snow before it changes over to sleet then freezing rain with up to 1/2 inch of freezing rain. That freezing rain is the scary stuff. We got resupplied & have a gas fireplace so are prepared but I sure hope we don't get that much ice & lose power. Cross your fingers for us.
