Nothing but a Weather Report

Not much to write about today, and I don't even feel like criticizing politicians.It was one of those days that you’d like to stay in bed and pull the covers over your head. There was a cold drizzle falling when I got up, and it didn’t improve much as the day dragged on. The temperature was right at freezing, so some ice formed on the trees and wires, but the roads were only wet.

By afternoon, it was Seattle-ing…just a tad warmer than when I got up, with a misty look and feel to the air. Not quite raining, but everything stayed wet.

Our weather has been like a yo-yo the entire fall. One day it’s in the 70’s and the next, it’s freezing. By Thursday, it’s supposed to be near 70 again. It’s not unusual to have warm weather just before Christmas, but it is unusual to change so dramatically almost every other day.

The flowers are really confused, as the tulip and hyacinth leaves are already showing, and the mums are also sending out new growth. Boy, are they in for a surprise!
