Fizzles

Late last week, we were supposed to get a ice and snow storm. It stayed south, so there wasn't any problems associated with it. Except, that it was supposed to block a cold front that was coming from the midwest. That dumped about an half an inch of sloppy precip during rush hour. Didn't stick to the pavement, and didn't really lay on the grass, but big flakes in rush hour is bad news.

Then the temperature dropped. The dusting of flakes that stuck around, really stuck around. Windchill advisories on top of temperatures that never did hit 30 aided that. Last night/this morning, lows in the teens, with windchills hovering around zero until around lunch. Only going to get up to the 20s. Tonight/tomorrow morning, they are talking single digits with windchills way below zero. And highs scraping into the 20s. And the talk is that the warmest day this week is going to hit 37.

There are just some weeks when you wish Global Climate Change really meant warming. Especially since 8 degrees is the coldest day since 2004.
