My goodness. This weather is driving me batty. For the last three weeks it's been cold and gray. Maybe some sunshine, but not much to speak of. The temperatures are freezing or below at night and its windy. On top of that, it can't decide if it wants to snow or not. Light Snow/Light rain/mix. Repeat for five days. Let an inch or two accumulate, then warm up to 50°F to melt it all the next day. My hands are so dry, my thumbs are cracking - I've resorted to putting Vaseline on them at night - which is helping.
Right now it's doing a heavy wet snow rain. And the sky is a lovely shade of pre-thunderstorm yellow. Very odd.
Snow before Christmas is charming, delightful, welcomed. The third week in February is "my goodness - could we have some warmth already??"
Update (17:40): It's seriously snowing now. We have a good inch or more on the ground. If it stays, it'll be pretty.
Posted by Jinglelady at February 23, 2005 03:33 PM | German Life | TrackBackYou actually get up to 50°F down there? We barely break freezing, if at we even do that! It's snowed every night here for the past week. Crappy gray weather during the day.
Kill me now.
