Of all the times we’ve been “snowed in” or had a cold snap, this is the first one I recall the temperature will not get above freezing in over 24 hours since 1983 and I was further south in Houston. I’m sure it has happened before, such as the mess in early 2021 that caused gasoline shortages, a water boil order and no power in Jennifer’s apartment for over two days. I just need to pay more attention.
Last night was fun though. I completed some final shopping for Sunday and when I got home I made a nice sandwich with a bowl of clam chowder. A little binge watching of Batman: The Brave and the Bold which is sadly leaving HBO Max, another reason why I’ll be dropping it when the $1.99/month option ends. The cats can definitely tell something is off with the weather outside, all but one slept on the bed to steal our body heat; I have no idea why Isis has remained afraid.
I’m very grateful the Arctic Front didn’t bring ice and snow. I could come to work with confidence I wouldn’t be side swiped by an idiot in a Beemer still driving to quickly. Cold is one thing, excessive moisture is another. Witnessing people wipe out while my Prius is safely parked is fun though, I have a good view of Parmer from a third story window. The best part, this will all be over by mid-weekend and we can return to wearing light jackets to ring in the New Year. Suck it North Dakota!
