That just gives you more time for your life to flash before your eyes.

At my age, that's a bonus.

We're supposed to be getting down to a low of 7 this evening. Brrrr. Can't complain, though, cause this winter has been vey mild, so far.

Don't know about Rose & Bear, but our David called just a little while ago, and it's snowing in Austin. *snicker*

I think The Rosebear's power (or at least internet) must be out. Hope they are finding a way to stay warm that is worthy of a good story :~)

No horsie in a winter wonderland pics today, the horses seem to want to just hang out till this one passes :~)

Mares are inside :~)

You can see pony's breath, or it's that ghost that lives in that stall, one of the two :~)

Cats out for a few minutes, till they decided they wanted back in. :~)

Dogs go out and play for a bit, then want back in to drive us crazy for awhile. :~)

It's like the weather got the new calendar, realized it was January, and decided to make up for lost time!

Yeah, we're supposed to hit the low 20s tonight. It'll feel more like winter.

I'm just concerned about stuff that's already bloomin' or getting ready to. I bet this could wipe out the cherry blossoms in DC.

No, we didn't lose electricity; however, we're both so durn sleepy we can barely keep our eyes open!

And, no, it's not carbon monoxide --- plenty of ventilation in this place! (Durn heating unit won't stop running!) We didn't sleep much (me) or well (DaBear) last night.

I don't sleep well when there's a weather emergency.

Therefore, a report from the southern marches.

We're getting a real "wintry mix," alternating and combining light snow, moderate sleet, and moderate freezing rain. At 12:06, it was sleeting/raining; at 12:39, it's pretty much all snow. At 12:50, it's a mix of sleet and snowflakes. The temperature is bouncing between 26 and 27 degrees; however, we're beginning to wonder if were in a protected spot, as the trees don't get iced and the parking lot isn't iced.

We're warm; DaBear is sleeping, and I'm watching the weather and Are You Being Served? on the BBC America channel.

Now, at 1:05, we're back to sleet and/or freezing rain ...

Hmmm...

Weatherunderground now shows "snow showers" all day today for my zip. And only peaking out at 34. They're showing the rain starting overnight.

Hmmm...

Maybe you shouldn't ping Rosie to that sort of thing.

Don't you love how in the rules of weather forecasting they can just "change the answer" without ever explaining why it's totally different from what they said an hour ago?

Well, not unless you've got the video camera ready.
