Haven't posted in a while.
Still can't think of much to say.
Think winter is about done here. Temps shot up into the upper 60's. Even now, it's 62 and it will be snowing by evening but then the temps will climb again and the unreliable, long range has it back in the 40's next week. This is mid or late March weather in the old days. I guess i meant too much rain here when i said that for winter.
But see, nothing to talk about.

EDIT: There we are, 24 hrs later, everyone's favorite, freezing rain.

I am glad to hear from you, even if it's a slow news day.

Winter came back here. Down in the low 30s at night, but luckily we don't get freezing rain. If that ever happened here, I think civilization would collapse.

Freezing rain is nasty; every year you see those shots from the South with cars sliding to their ruin. We mock them here, saying "Look at a little snow and they're helpless". But in truth what they usually are sliding on is the results of freezing rain. As the climate warms i fear we are getting more freezing rain for ourselves, though we have the equipment to salt the streets, walkways and everything else is life threatening even to power lines and trees.

The most surreally destructive thing I've ever witnessed, that's for sure.
