Unofficially, Indianapolis had over four inches of snow yesterday, falling and freezing as rush hour approached. On my way home around 7:00 yesterday evening, I encountered four cars off the road along a blind S-curve that descends into a little low spot to cross William;s Creek. It's posted for 15 mph, and from the positions and spacing of the cars, they had each made a wrong decision about speed, braking and/or steering at various times. My brakes went into antilock mode a few times, at speeds of 25 mph or below -- it was that slick.
Temperatures fell all day yesterday and continued that way overnight. Today's been sunny and slightly warmer -- just enough to loosen the wet snow on high tree branches, and send it flurrying down in wind gusts.
Tomorrow's supposed to be warmer. But we've had a reminder: Winter won't slip away quietly. We've had a few days of birdsong and sprouting crocus, and we'll have more of them later. But not today. And probably not tomorrow.
