I'm SICK of this weather!!

**sundial** · 02-20-2008, 06:35 AM

I woke up to a nice, sunny, pre-spring day and I have thoughts of riding my bike in this gorgeous weather. Then I look at weather.com and our county currently has a flood warning and significant ice accumulation forecasted for Thursday.

All we lack is a tornado and we'll be complete.

I wish these erratic weather patterns would calm down.

I sure can't fix it for you, but I can be

along with you, in commiseration! Hang in there!

If someone in the midwest wanted to start bicycle commuting, I'd tell them go for it--except in February. Just skip February. I hate February.

Sundial, we spent the weekend in Little Rock. It was horrid weather, but I had to be inside painting my son's house anyway, so I didn't care. Then Monday and Tuesday came along and it was GORGEOUS out. But I still had to be inside. Yesterday I drove home down highway 16 from Atkins to Fayetteville (oh boy is that a curvy road--I couldn't go above 40 because the dogs would puke). It was so lovely, I stopped at a deserted campground and let the dogs run in the woods for a couple of hours while I sat in the sun. (Happy dogs!)

Get up this morning, back in MY life, doing for ME, and the weather is crap again. blah! Ice tonight for us. But I did see the daffodils poking up in the garden, and there are lots of dead skunks on the road! Those are my two signs of spring.

Can I give an AMEN?

The news guy says to the weather guy "can I guess that this will be the last really cold blast?"

And the weather guy says "Nope." As long as the storms keep hammering the west coast, the big air flow is tuned for the arctic air to hammer us.

We're expecting the ice and sleet tonight. I'm sick of it too, but I'm riding my mountain bike in it and it works. The worst part is when the wind chills are between 0 and 10, and I can dress warm enough, but getting dressed takes forever.

I think we should just all go to Sandra's house. She's been having 70 degree weather, and she says her guest room is always ready.

It's a deal!

Sick of it, too. Ice, ice and more ice. Rain, cold overnight, resulting in black ice. Yesterday, a little bit of snow. Tonight, snow turning to freezing rain. I went to in work during our last ice storm. This time, I think I'll just take the day off.

I have the day off. No school. Ice and sleet until 6:00pm TOMORROW! Sandra? Sandra? Wanna talk about your azaleas blooming????

I could bring my travel trailer if she would just give me a place to plugin and let me use her bathroom.

this pic is the story of our winter. i took this pic (with my phone) yesterday on the way to my office. and we're expecting another storm on monday.

**spokewench** · 02-22-2008, 01:17 PM

Snowed about 8 inches night before last (very wet and heavy); snowed 4-5 inches last night; has been snowing all day since. My husband just went home and he says the neighborhood is just buried and it is supposed to snow all night and into tomorrow at least!

Yikes, I know we need the moisture, but I AM DONE WITH THIS! I'm so sick and tired of shoveling the driveway, the sidewalk, the roof, the back deck, the way to the wood shed. Besides, I think I pulled muscle in my shoulder girdle yesterday shoveling so it really hurts to shovel!

PLEASE NO MORE SHOVELING!

**SouthernBelle** · 02-22-2008, 02:47 PM

we hardly ever shovel here when it snows. We just wait for it to melt. Usually 24 hours.

Oh my gosh. High today here was 76. I will post pictures of my cherry tree and azaleas blooming tomorrow.

Sandra, where in MS are you? I went to college in Columbus.
