The Weather


The weather is the big news around here. It’s certainly nothing compared to the awful weather that’s happening in the Middle West and New England areas of the country. But the high of 32F that we had today is certainly cold for this area. And the prediction of snow, black ice, and single digit temperatures (above zero) is way out of the ordinary around here. So we’ll just have to deal with that, hibernating, and knowing that it won’t last long.

John’s cousin has just moved to this area from up-state New York. I know he’s enjoying not having to shovel snow any more. But I’m sure he’s getting really big laughs out of the huge to-do going on on the local news broadcasts about the predicted cold weather and 1-3” of snow. He’ll eventually get over it and complain just like the rest of us.

Followup: Remember my writing about the police chief in a neighboring county who resigned after the discovery his storage-unit love nest? Today he asked the city commission to rescind his retirement and give his job back. What chutzpah! The city manager politely declined.
