Linda, is where you live considered the High Desert?
I woke to sleet again today, but it had stopped by the time I wanted to leave. Actually the ground around me was clear, just the auto was ice covered. And the bridges and overpasses were really bad. There were lots of highways closed when people hit black ice, and spun out of control. There were accidents with 15 and 20 cars and trucks involved early this morning. It warmed up to 43, so the ice is gone, but it was not a nice for lots of people on their way to work this morning. I only have about a mile to go and no bridges, so I lucked out.
