Believing

The weatherman says a wintry storm is coming tonight. I didn't know whether to believe him. He has been imprecise so many times before.

Never the less I found the hydrometer and checked the antifreeze. I left the garden hose dripping and I brought in the plants. Earlier my co-workers had made contingency plans, schemed to gain a day off work if we received any snow at all. I drove home not believing. A skeptic. Unswayed.

Tonight I went out with the dogs for a last bathroom break before bed. I felt the wind. Maybe it is coming.....





Meanwhile, in North Carolina........

    In the piedmont region of NC we got a dusting of snow and then it melted. But then the temps dropped 13 degrees so what roads where wet are now icy.

    It was fuhreaking COLD here in Houston over the weekend... luckily the rain had stopped and the roads had dried up before it got below freezing.
