Sneet!

Sneet! sounded better to me than Slow! to describe the sleet snow mixture we have had today. The weather prognosticators all said that the precipitation would stay to the south of us...but they were wrong! We had about a half and inch of accumulation; enough to make things really messy.

My back was still really painful this morning. Yesterday's foray into the office was sort of a setback. However during the day today, the Aleve I've been eating seemed to make some progress in reducing the inflammation. I can only surmise that by the reduction in pain. I have to go into the office tomorrow in order to print the drawings we will be using at a client meeting on Friday. So, I am hoping that...there will be no more ice or sneet...and that the Aleve will kick into high gear!

In other news, I attempted to record a time lapse film of and icicle melting. I set up the camera on a tripod and focused on the icicle. The rate of exposure was set to one every five minutes. Unfortunately, the icicle didn't really melt. It melted a little and grew a little. I think I will try again tomorrow. If things go well, I'll try and figure out how to post the movie.
