Histamine City, eh?  Everybody has their own burden to bear I guess. 

I'm just hoping all this crappy weather is behind us, fishing opener starting to look like it might resemble Washington crossing the Delaware!

I blew off church as I don't do the 22 mile drive in....

Freezing rain.   ::falldownshocked::

My thermometer did crawl above freezing as we went into the evening, but only to 32.4 by the time I went to bed.  Coldest day this late in the year I can ever remember.  Our snow from last week is still here, 3" officially.  No 50's in the forecast until the weekend at the earliest.  Normal is 60 by then.

Latest winter I've ever experienced.

I recollect some winters that dragged into April, but I think it is because I am older and less inclined to tolerate crappy cold weather in general that makes it seem like it is a bigger PITA than it otherwise would be.

We are on our THIRD day of overcast, and second full day of steady snow in Colorado.  This NEVER happens. I dreamed of it as a kid. It was rare for a sky to stay overcast for even half of a day.

I personally blame the White Witch- it is she who makes it always winter and never Christmas.

It certainly feels like some overpowering evil force is at work in all areas.

It's climate chaos..... In the 80's in Tennessee, but if the forcast is believable, we will drop to 50 friday and mid 30's that nite. I know it's not cold to many here, but it equates to breaking out the thermal undies to hit the lake.
I'm not always engulfed in scandals, but when I am, I make sure I blame others.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Frankly it's looking like another forecast bust.  That last forecast was 12-15, we got 5.  This says 6, we've got nothing, so far.

With that weather, sounds like everybody should be fishing for Irish coffees.

Yep they blew that forecast again.

Well, my old stomping grounds is receiving 12" +/- 2" of new snow in time for the weekend and there is still 2 feet of snow on the driveway to my summer place.  The only thing its good for is lake levels.
I'm entitled (to be cranky).
