Ready for Winter to be Over

The past few months feel like they've been the winter of my discontent. For 8 weeks it was cold, dark, and rainy. Several times I've said to myself, "I'm just about ready for winter to be over." The problem is, winter doesn't even start for 2 more weeks! 😨

Where's All This Nice Weather At?

The weather forecast as of a few days ago was a picture of beautiful weather on tap. It'd be warm (for the season) and sunny. To read my blog earlier today grumbling about the weather and then see a forecast like this...



...With a week and a half of high temperatures in the 60s, you might say, you might say, "Quit yer bitchin'!"

Unfortunately the reality has been far different from this forecast. Each day we've started off with dark, gloomy mornings followed by afternoons with temperatures that have fallen several degrees short of these mythical 60+° numbers. Today, for example, it was just 50° outside when I drove around town at 11:30am. It probably won't get warmer than 53° today.
