It's November 13 and I had to have my windshield wipers on high for the duration of my drive home.  The rain was coming down as if it was mid-summer.  This, combined with the warm temperature, played havoc on the fluffy snow that covered the ground.  There isn't much left.  Most of the ground cover is ice.

The rain began overnight, stopped and then froze.  It started again just before I left for work this morning.  I opened the backdoor and noticed that the deck was wet.  I did not notice the ice under the water and proceeded to do a few 'figure skating moves' on my way to the stairs.  Each stair was coated in ice.  I side-stepped each stair all the way to the bottom.

As I tried to stay upright on the way to the garage, I wondered what happened to the beautiful morning that I witnessed the day before.  I watched the sun come up while enjoying my morning coffee.  The colors were bright and beautiful; a sight to behold.
This morning was grey and damp.  

As I turned off the exterior lights this evening, it was dark and damp.  The temperature is supposed to drop and the rain is expected to turn to snow.  The forecast is for up to 4cm of snow.  That, combined with the ice covered road, is going to make for an interesting drive in to work tomorrow morning.
