8½”

Normally I’m fine with getting 8½”. I mean, who isn’t? 😉

But this is crazy:

Sometimes 8½" is just to much...

It started yesterday mid-morning. And it just now stopped around 1pm.

I had to venture into Bentonville to make sure both the studio and the salon heat were on and the waterlines were all okay. It’s going to be 1°F tonight.

The roads apparently haven’t been touched by AHTD. No scraping. No sanding. No deicing.

Somewhere under there is Hwy 72. Somewhere.

There weren’t many people out, aside from a few people who were driving their SUVs and trucks. Way to fast for the conditions. Which probably explains why so many were in ditches. They deserved it.

Oh, and the mail carrier was out too.

Come rain or sleet or snow...

The snow does make for some beautiful scenery though.

And what’s worse: it’s still only autumn!

Update: On the news tonight, Pea Ridge was reported as having the most precipitation received for the area. At 12″!

Until next time...

  1. Is that a common occurrence? I’m really wanting us to get our first winter blast but we’ve only had a few inches of snow thus far.
