Drove to visit a sibling and family north of Ithaca NY today, and got caught in the squall warning! It was sick.

Photo taken by my partner in the passenger seat as we crawled on NY route 392, at about 20 mph. We got off of I-81 south of Cortland because the squall was visible to the NW horizon. It looked like a summer thunderstorm - gray/black clouds - as we advanced in patchy partly cloudy sunlight. Did not want to be on the interstate with the trucks as that squall blew through. The snow was super powdery and got really caked on the tires, it got slippery quick in my lame all-season tires which are only 3k miles old lol.

The vehicle in front of us was a NY state plow, which we blindly lucked into following. It was dumping salt and scraping the accumulation out of the way. The squall dropped about an inch of snow, impossible to tell because of the wind. At some points it was almost blinding, visibility probably a max of 20-25 yards.

Lots of peepers out tonight.

Interestingly enough, I've discovered a few straggler cicada nymph emergence holes around the base of our oak tree. I know they're fresh because last year's emergence holes have all been filled in with countless mowings and leaf mulchings since last spring. I checked the tree trunk but didn't see any nymphs. Our current soil temps are ~55 degrees and the base of that tree gets full sun all day, but still....always surprising to see the handful of late-comers. "Hey...where IS everybody?!?"  :D
