A few
days ago the weather was unseasonably warm and sunny. Taking care of
a few outdoor chores at work was a pleasure. Yesterday winter came
with a vengeance and today the temperature plunged. Hard to believe
the weather was so balmy so recently. Outdoor chores were not for the
faint of heart today.
On the
bright side the forecast was pretty nearly on the mark. Something I'm
not sure happens very often. When the storm started most people
stayed off the roads. Business fell off at work. The boys and I have
the most remote home compared to the rest of our co-workers, so we
were asked if we wanted to go home early. I thought it was the better
part of wisdom. I maybe wouldn't have been quite so quick to agree
had I known the snowplough had cleaned out the roads in our neck of
the woods. The roads were bad but I didn't find them particularly
challenging.
This
morning was less fun. The snow had melted and then froze on my
windshield. Took a lot of effort to clear enough so that we could
drive to work. It only got colder as the day progressed. Business
started slow but as soon as the sun came out we got swamped. Lots of
people traveling because of the holiday and they all got hungry at
about the same time and place.
Tomorrow
is supposed to be just as cold. I'm not looking forward to it.
