Homegrown Thoughts

It is currently 59 degrees outside and we are under a winter weather advisory, to-wit:

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 AM CST MONDAY.

CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL INCREASE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO SNOW AROUND MID EVENING…AND IT MAY EVEN MIX WITH SLEET AT TIMES BEFORE MIDNIGHT. TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF SNOW MAY ACCUMULATE BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION DIMINISHES BEFORE DAYBREAK MONDAY. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE IF A NARROW BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW DEVELOPS. MUCH OF THE ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR IN ONLY A FEW HOURS…SO DRIVING CONDITIONS COULD DETERIORATE RAPIDLY. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15 TO 30 MPH AS THE SNOW FALLS…REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO A HALF MILE OR LESS…AND CAUSING DRIFTING OF THE SNOW.

This has been the weirdest, snowiest winter…and the hits just keep coming! Since Easter is early this year, I predict many a little girl shivering on Easter morning in their new spring dresses with short sleeves while there is snow on the ground. Yes, I still remember this from my own childhood.

I think I’ll go take a walk with the boys while it’s still above freezing and dry (not counting the puddles my youngest will undoubtedly feel he must jump into).
