Ice storm

Post by hardyjim »

Latest round of B.S. weather.
We finally break out of the Arctics grip,only to be left in the doldrums between
the really cold weather and the really mild wet weather.
It's been foggy and freezing for over a week/no sun and now this!

Ok, that is one form of winter weather for me to look forward to. We get more of those ice storms than we do snow, but so far this year we just had the snow.
It has been warm lately. I give myself credit as I promised to bring warm air home with me and I did. Last night we had a regular spring thunder storm with nearly an inch of rain. I slept with the window open just like it was March.
