The Weather.

Yesterday "looked" beautiful with clear sunny skies, but don't let that fool you. It was brutally cold with a windchill below 0 and high winds. We made an effort to hike, but I only lasted ten or fifteen minutes at a time and it was scramble back to the car lol. Dang cold weather for ruining it! I had bike spandex pants on, plus snow pants over that, and a long john top, outdoor spandex type sporty turtleneck over that, a shirt and heavy sweater over that, and two layers of coats (one windbreaker style, the other heavy material), not to mention scarf, face mask, hat, coat hood, gloves...still could not get warm enough to be outside long. I go through these odd times when I get easily chilled to the bone and wonder if it is my thyroid acting up.

It's raining cats & dogs so I'm going to stay at home today.
My friend from Vancouver Island has just e mailed me saying that they are snowed in and expecting more snow during the course of the day.
 
It feels freezing out there, really chilly.

    A chilly start, with any fog patches lifting, and early showers easing. Rather cloudy during the morning, although some sunny spells are likely to develop. Western parts are then likely to remain dry, however rain is expected across the east.

Lucky. :pout:
 
I can take personal time if I want to stay home during a snowstorm. Or I can go in early/stay late to make up the time within two weeks. It's a nice job perk.
 
IMG_2148.jpg Trying to keep my wits about me but I'm going to enjoy the anticipation while it lasts. It's hard not to get excited.
 
^^^I hope you get some snow. We really haven't had much where I am... I think I've used my shovel once this season and it's already February, for crying out loud!
Yes, that's how I feel! Last year was even worse!
 
Not getting excited is not working. I woke up at 3 am and I can't stop thinking about the snow possibility. I believe it's definitely coming but it's not definite how much. We are in the 8+ range but there's a chance it could be as little as 3 depending on the final track.

Three is fine...I will not whine. But I hope it's more. I already put in for the day off regardless of what happens so if I'm not shoveling snow I can get some other stuff done like gathering my papers for my taxes.
