20 inches of snow over the weekend.
Metrodome roof collapses.
More snow predicted for Wednesday/Thursday of this week.
Just one question....
IS IT SPRING YET?

And the journey begins...
In the last two days I have dealt with being icicled in. I had to break them with the screen door in order to get outside, so that I could spend over an hour shoveling for the second day in a row. But do I care at this point? No! Why? Because as I type this my son is on the train on his way to the airport in Frankfurt, Germany. At last check his flight from there to Detroit is suppose to be on time. Will be checking status updates throughout the day tomorrow, until it's time to pick him up at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport.
What to do while waiting. Wait for the kringle for his party to be delivered, oh yeah and take a midterm for Intercultural Communications.
Happy Dance!

Oh The Weather Outside...
Well, I'm not really sure, I haven't ventured out yet. But there is a double scroll line of closures going across the bottom of the tv screen. And I've already gotten the call that the board meeting is canceled for tonight.
This stuff can move on anytime now. It's three days til my DS comes home on leave. Momma ready to see her boy.

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
NOT!
It started snowing last night.
I've already shoveled twice.
It's suppose to keep snowing thru Saturday.
Wake me when it's spring!

Who's Counting?
78 days left of the possible snow season - at least that's what the meteorologist said on the radio this morning. But that's ok. We still manage to have fun. Here's a picture that was taken at a polar plunge ice breaking event last Friday.
No, I wasn't participating. We were there for the music.

It's not the heat....
Oh wait, wrong time of year for that one. Let's try this....
see more puppies
BTW, I'll take the snow over the cold anyday - I can move snow out of my way!

How not to start a day...
Wake up to 30+ below windchills.
Think really hard about calling in, but don't because you'd rather use your PTO for fun.
Go to the bathroom and discover that the fresh water hose to the toilet (the one that fills the tank after you flush) has frozen. From what you are able to figure out, it didn't break (you would have heard water running if it had, right?), it only froze.
Of course, since you're in a "mobile home" you can't just run downstairs to check. In order to check you have to go outside to the access....which you can't get to because of all the snow that has drifted on top of the access door. OK - you could possible get to it IF you spent several hours in the 30 below windchill shoveling. Of course, that would lead to additional frost bite and/or worse, so you think better of that.
Think really hard again about calling in, but don't because you'd rather use your PTO for fun.
Ponder why it is that you live in the north as you shiver waiting for your car to warm up. (Warm being a relative term when it hasn't been above 0 in days.)
Question your sanity once you get to work and shiver your way across the parking lot.
Why was it that you didn't use a PTO day and stay home?

Baby it's cold outside...
Winter is nature's way of saying, "Up yours." ~Robert Byrne
If that's the case, someone must have pissed nature off. It's almost 4 in the afternoon and we still haven't reached 0. (It's currently -4 Fareinheit).
And I'm sure that this is the scientific term...the weatherman this morning said it was "butt kicking cold" today.
Will let you know when (if) I thaw out.

A Friendly Reminder
Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Yesterday was a beautiful day. The sun was shining. The smell of lilacs was finally in the air. It was warm, but not hot.
And then 7 p.m. hit. The blue sky turned gray. In a matter of minutes...
Yes that is hail around my lilac bush. I have more pictures, but am having trouble getting them to load. (Will try again later.) This stuff fell for about 10 - 15 minutes. At midnight when I looked out the door before going to bed, there was still a bunch on my sidewalk.
