The Weather Again

I’m the first to admit that I talk about the weather entirely too much, but come on. This is getting ridiculous.

Up until a week ago I was still worried about our water tables and the lack of snow all winter long.I’m not worried anymore. We got totally dumped on.

The schools closed both Friday and Monday. The plows have already chewed through what was left of the city budget in overtime. An avalanche wiped out a house on the edge of town. Several skiers have needed rescue and a snowmobiler died.

Frankly, just looking out the window, I wasn’t all that impressed. Yes, we got a lot of snow, but I’ve seen it come down heavier in Wisconsin. Yes, we had high winds, but nothing like the winds that ripped the tiles off my roof a few years ago. And yes, it got very, very cold, but we had colder days earlier this year.

Then the sky cleared. It only lasted an hour or two. but it was eery after so much wind and snow. The fact we knew it was only about half way over didn’t help. I suddenly felt as though I was in a Winter hurricane.

The forecast is from more snow all week long. *sigh* It IS March, isn’t it?
