Snow (Repeat as Necessary)

Winter Storm Warning in effect from 10 PM Monday evening to 6 AM EST Wednesday.

The National Weather Service in Baltimore Md/washington has issued a Winter Storm Warning for snow, which is in effect from 10 PM Monday evening to 6 AM EST Wednesday. The Winter Storm Watch is no longer in effect.

Precipitation type: snow.
Accumulations: snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches, with locally higher amounts possible.
Timing: precipitation will begin this evening initially as a rain and snow mix. The precipitation will transition to all snow by midnight and last through Tuesday night, with periods of heavy snow during this time.
Impacts: roads will become snow covered, resulting in hazardous travel conditions.
Winds: North 5 to 10 mph.
Temperatures: in the lower 30s.
To compound my long tale of woe, KC has a shoe that is compromised. On one side of his left shoe ALL the nails are not pounded in and looped over the shoe, holding the shoe tightly. I let Sara the Farrier know, but she won't come out unless I'm here and he's in, and neither of those was happening yesterday. Yesterday the nails did break and the shoe is slightly, barely loose.

He duct-taped the hoof, but this morning KC was wearing the tape like a bracelet. Now that it is actively snowing Sara the Farrier will not be out, although I'm home and KC is in his stall. Timing is everything, right?
It is pretty, but I'm really over this snow thing!
