We already had ours here, last night.

Right now, it's about 7 degrees and a slight wind; tolerable for this time of the year in Nebraska.

The wind and snow they're getting east of Nebraska, though, must be from somewhere else, because we had no snow (no clouds, even), and our win came from directly north, headed down to Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

But of course I am no meteorologist, Madam.

(I had to sneak that salutation in somewhere.)

Soon off to work, and then four days of civilized life (regular day time hours).

It's always a good thing to say. Years ago I addressed some woman as "Madam" on the phone, I was doing my financial aid work study make work at college, manning (womanning?) the phone in the U's history dept. So, presumably the woman who phoned was not a complete dope. Nevertheless she said to me "No one's ever called me that before."

I think it was right about then that I gave up.
