It’s Friday. It’s been a long week. All week long we’ve heard more snow is coming. How can that be? Just two weeks ago it was 70.
Driving home last night I could see the squiggly lines of “secret sauce” one town sprays on their roads before a snowfall. I love that “secret sauce.” It works so well, but do I really want to know what it is? Driving to work this morning trucks are depositing sparkling crystals of chemical concoctions to keep us safe on today’s journey. Liquids and solids prepared to do battle with the elements.
Hooray! I made it to school. Nothing yet. Classroom lights on. Oh, here it comes.
The joys of March in New England. It’s a roller coaster of a month.
Wondering and Wandering 
I’ll say it is a roller coaster of a month–of a winter really. Here in PA the snow just started, but the ground is still warm and we don’t expect any accumulation. My husband wants to take credit for the lack of appreciable snow fall this winter. He bought a brand new snow blower at the beginning of the season!

Our secret sauce wasn’t enough this morning. No school! Love that you bring us on the roller coaster with you as your voice shines through in your writing.

I don’t remember a stranger winter- usually it is unseasonably warm, or tons of snow and freezing temps- not this wacky mix of both! Glad you made it to school safely.

This really is turning out to be an unusual winter. I heard the township trucks prepping the roads in front of our hose last night. Woke up this morning to find my sprouting daffodils buried in snow. Let’s hear it for March.

March is a rollercoaster month with weather, isn’t it? Yesterday it was 63 degrees here in Central PA. Right now there are big, fat flakes falling outside my home office window. It’s amazing what a difference a day makes!

We got those enormous snowflakes this afternoon. They were wonderful! Might as well enjoy the roller coaster ride. Right?

We had a snow day here in western CT, but heard the peepers on February 28th! Roller coaster for sure!

I heard the peepers, too. And have been worried about them all week! Bitter cold weekend ahead 😦

We have had a similarly odd winter here in Virginia. I love the phrase “secret sauce.” What a great way to describe the chemicals that are used to treat roads!
