Tonight it feels like winter is moving in, lock stock, and barrel.
Today was a beautiful day in Edmonton, certainly warm enough for just my sweater. And there were an abnormal amount of motorcyclists out there for November 10th.
But alas tonight there is a freezing rain warning out, and a threat of 5-10 cm of snow falling tomorrow. So, that's a nice foundation of ice, and then it's going to dump snow on top of all that lovely ice. You know what that makes? Me very cranky.
I know it has to come, but it's that initial shock to the system that for me is tough to handle. Especially with a week of vacation left.
I also know that many of you have already faced the grim grip of winters icy hold on you and so you have little pity for me. But remember, tomorrow I have a son driving to town to sing in a concert with a car with rear wheel drive, who hasn't done much winter driving at all. Connect the dots and you'll see that tomorrow has the potential to be a stressful day.
But today was good. A little bit of hospital visitation, a great Vietnamese lunch, some bookstore snooping, a seasonal spiced latte from Starbucks, and tonight a bit more studying. All in all a very good day, which is great because tomorrow is going to be a mess.
Old man winter is moving in.
You can have my sympathy - 8 days ago I was sat in 30+'C, and while it's now cool and damp here, there's no sign of real ice and snow. I wonder if your younger daughter will eventually tire of ceaseless grey skies?
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks be to God, really, because we've seen a twenty four hour reprieve. That meant that Micah had no snow or ice to mess with and I had no worry issues to deal with.
ReplyDeleteNow it's starting outside, slowly at first, but it's starting.
I think the only thing worse would be +30C right about now.
:)
Hope your trip is great Toni.
And yep I think that cloudy sky thing is reaching into the heart of the girl, along with a few other things.
She knows where we are, and is welcome to escape if she would like to.
