The weather forecast predicted ice for us last night/this morning, but we lucked out and it got too cold for ice - we got a little bit of snow, but that's about it.

"You know what is worse than 33 deg rain?? It's rain (freezing rain actually) when it is 25 deg out!!"

You're right--that's definitely worse. I saw the weatherman expaining it last weekend when we were in Ohio and a similar storm passed through. He had so much enthusiasm I was chuckling to myself as I watched him, paying more attention to his antics than to what he was supposedly teaching us. I guess they don't often get to show off how much they know.

I still don't understand how it can happen. Maybe it's like ceiling fans, ya know? Clockwise they send the warm air down, and counterclockwise the cool air down. But I sure don't know where the giant blades in the sky are, LOL!

Well so much for the dire predictions of our weathermen. This morning was suppose to be pretty bad here, but as I look out the window there is a covering of snow and the cars are just speeding along our road like usual. Streets look pretty clear to me. Guess I'm glad that the weatherman was wrong.

The freezing rain here has been miserable lately, hasn't it?
