Opened my eyes this morning and there's a strange substance outside!

It's a 4-letter word too! Ban it!

I was surprised and thrilled! More please, but wait until I get home from the Burg.

It was pretty to see early this morning but a complete surprise. I heard all the schools were mass calling parents at 6am for the 2 hour delay.

I've accepted this fact of life, but will never understand how a standard school bus or a standard car cannot traverse less than 1/8th of snow so school must be delayed or cancelled.
And I am tired of the 'we don't get snow here' excuse for it too. Just go out and learn how to drive dammit!

Ice. Around here it was more than 1/8 inch, too. Although the driveway and sidewalks were clear, my lawn was completely covered in beautiful whiteness.

It's gone - that was a close one, and we clearly dodged a bullet!

We have one neighbor at the, I don't know what to call it, you know like when you are approaching a culdesac it would be the house you'd run into if you couldn't stop or turn...... anyway, they still have a fair amount of frosty stuff covering the front lawn. based on my extensive knowledge of almost no particular sciences, I believe that means their house faces due North. Or South, not sure. LOL. Anyway I must be getting old because it was 47 degrees today and I had to wear a jacket whilst out of doors.

47 and you needed a jacket? Sir, you have betrayed your Northern Roots!

It was a light jacket because I don't have a hooded sweatshirt and my long sleeved undershirt was in the wash. This getting old shit is new to me too. Next thing y'know I'll be wearing a wool peacoat and those welding goggles in July.
Yeah, I know. I can hear my ancestors mocking me from the grave.

As long as you're not telling those pesky kids to get offa your lawn, you're still good.

When my neighbor arrived last evening, she was wearing capri leggings (one of those body types that shouldn’t), a short-sleeved shirt, and crocs. I answered the door in sweat pants, thermal socks and a hoodie. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's not bad around 1-2pm. The rest of the day can go to hell.
