I am not looking forward to my Tuesday commute especially that I have a 20-minute walk to the Metro. We're currently under severe weather alert. According to the weather forecast, it will start snowing tonight, so who knows how much snow will accumulate. I hope it won't be a struggle to walk through the sidewalks because sometimes they could get icy and seriously slippery. People are getting ready - snow shovels and bags of ice melts. I'm glad that I don't have to shovel snow anymore; it could really break your back. Apart from the snow, we're expecting freezing rain by Wednesday. Freezing rain can really cause serious car accidents and power outages. What exactly is freezing rain? Well, freezing rain falls as rain, but once the raindrops reaches the ground's surface and if temperatures are below freezing, the raindrops instantly freezes upon contact with the trees, power lines, ground, and roadways. Cool stuff but dangerous.
My week is getting interesting already. Happy Tuesday!
The freezing rain sounds fascinating. But as you say, it's dangerous as well. Would you believe it snowed in UAE last friday?
ReplyDeleteTake much care, Kayni. And oh, happy birthday!!!
oh gosh. if only i could share KL's warmth...
ReplyDeletetake care!
i like it when it snows but i hate the day after it when all the snow melted then turned to ice.....i've had my fair share of accidents because of that
ReplyDeleteHi... can't say I've experienced freezing rain before wherever I've lived. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks for visiting my blog and for your kind comment :)
hey! can we switch places for, like, a week? my eldest son's been bugging me to "go somewhere where there's snow" :)
ReplyDeleteWits, I am amazed to know that it snowed there? Was there a lot? We got about 4 to 5 inches here.
ReplyDeleteJosiet, Please send me some sunshine. I need it badly.
Cheryle, You're right. The day after the snow is quite the challenge. It was actually slippery when I came home tonight.
Lailaa, I'm glad to see you here. Thank you for visiting.
Sleepless, Your suggestion reminds of the movie "Holiday." It would be nice to switch places =).
