Doggie Tracks In Our Quarter Inch Of Snow!

That's right you can see we got what was called for. And almost right on the nose. However we called for Cat tracks and those above are tiny Doggie tracks. Yes, my Rat terrier could not wait to get out in the snow and enjoy. Dobby, just like me has always been a huge snow fan. My Dad's dog who is a real tiny tiny Chihuahua named Lil Bit, did not care for the snow one bit lol. Dad said "Come on Lil Bit, lets go out potty" So Lil bit ran outside only to find (snow). She looked up at him like "You got to be kidding me" And then ran back inside lol.

Anyway Lafayette, ended up with around a quarter inch of snowfall. Some roads are still slick at this time. mainly less traveled roads such as this neighborhood road seen below.Becky, in Monticello, tells up about quarter size snowflakes that fell around 4:am EST. And I thank you for you report!

I let my Parakeet look out the window this morning to see his first snow ever and he was amazed :) Ziva, my sisters Parakeet on the other hand was kinda "Who cares" about the whole thing lol.So go clean off your cars and let's get our day started! I will check back soon with more details on the next winter system later on tonight. Please drive safe and drive smart!

Winter Driving Safety Tips.....

Speed: The faster you’re going, the longer it will take to stop. When accelerating on snow or ice, take it slow to avoid slipping or sliding. Ice and Snow, Take it Slow.
Distance: Give yourself space. It takes extra time and extra distance to bring your car to a stop on slick and snowy roads. Leave extra room between you and the vehicle in front of you.

Brake: Brake early, brake slowly, brake correctly and never slam on the brakes. If you have anti-lock brakes, press the pedal down firmly and hold it. If you don’t have anti-lock brakes, gently pump the pedal. Either way, give yourself plenty of room to stop.

Control: When driving on ice and snow, do not use cruise control and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers. When merging into traffic, take it slow. Sudden movements can cause your vehicle to slide.

Vision: Be aware of what’s going on well ahead of you. Actions by other vehicles will alert you to problems more quickly, and give you that split-second of extra time to react safely.
