Weather Conditions in St. Louis

Here's a link to the One hour radar loop .

Well, the weather here in St. Louis has finally changed for the worse. So far we've had a lot of heavy winds accompanied by sleet, freezing rain, and now snow. I've never been a big fan of wintery type conditions, not even as a child. I mean, I enjoyed playing out in the snow but after awhile I'd get cold and want to come inside to get warm. I enjoyed the view for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but the day after that, I'd always be wishing for spring.

Today is Friday, December 1st. and I'm scheduled to work at 6am. as usual. I'm heading out the door and as I slowly creep onto the slick stuff and close and lock the door behind me, I take a couple steps and.......well, let's just say that the ground is cold and hard and I now know this for sure because I slipped and fell on my side. lol Of course I did the normal looking around to see if any of my neighbors saw that little slapstick of comedy. ( even though it was still dark outside) - I normally leave the house around 5 am. but I still had to take that embarrassed peek around to see who may have caught a glimpse of my little mishap. After a bit of a struggle slip - sliding around while trying to get up, I finally was able to grab hold of the fence and pull myself up. With that, I turned toward the door, unlocked it and returned inside the house. I figured that was a sign to stay home and so....I DID! Later on today, I'll hopefully be able to make my way to the garage and get the shovel and salt to clear a path for tomorrow.

I HATE THIS WEATHER!! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
