Weather-wise, Tuesday night was "entertaining" to say the least!During the day, we had enjoyed unusual temperatures in the low 50's (12 C). At 7:30 p.m., a cold front moved into to produce a fierce storm with straight line winds in excess of 80 mph (approx. 128 kph). In two hours (21:30), the temperature dropped from 54F/12C to 28F/2C. Then, the horizontal rain turned to snow with blizzard-like conditions. It was wild! I believe the final report was that the temperature dropped 40 degrees in just six hours.
Last Night (Thursday)
ALL day long, we were hearing the reports of "gloom and doom" and how we were to receive up to 10+ inches of snow. Bread, milk, and eggs were flying off the grocery shelves! A friend of mine once commented on how curious it was that, when it snowed, everyone gets the urge to make French Toast!
We wake up this morning to two inches of snow and a little ice. This is the second time this winter that the weather reporters gets everyone all stirred up to have nothing! I supposed it is preferable to NOT having people prepared and having the opposite occur. Still, its frustrating. I suppose I want one GOOD snowstorm before winter ends. There's still time...

Yes, I call it the "Chicken Little Syndrome" when it comes to the weather folks around here. They all run around getting everyone worked up by sqwaking, "The Sky is Falling . . . The Sky is Falling" then we barely get a dusting! Sorry you didn't get your big snow storm - maybe next year (bring on the flowers now!!!)
Miss ya girlfriend!
