The Weather

Snowstorm in West Virginia 2016
On this day in 2014, I taunted my friends on Facebook with this message: "Hey La Grange -- ya'll stay warm, now, hear? 😆" I obviously was in Virginia and not at home. And, it seems the weather was about to get real in Kentucky.

But, that weather went back and forth over the years as I took care of mom and then dad. I was lucky not to get caught up in really bad weather, although sometimes it rained so hard I had to pull over. I'm talking rain that my windshield wipers couldn't handle.

The only time I encoutered bad roads was on this day in 2016 on my way home from visiting with dad. The photo shows a picture I took from inside my car. No other cars or trucks around me at all. I was on I-64 west close to Dawson when the snow came "raining" down. I was able to stop in the middle of the road to take the photo, because I guess everyone else got a warning that I didn't hear. I made it home safely.

Today in 2025, Kentucky is about to get whacked with yet another ice storm. This one should be short-lived, though. Here's to no power loss! Hope everyone else stays safe, too.
