It's Frickin' Freezing, Mr. Bigglesworth!

It's cold. At the moment is is 22 degrees (but feels like 8 degrees according to the weather.com site) and the east wind is blowing up a storm. We are under a winter weather watch. The TV news people are in raptures over the endless discussions of ice, cold, wind, wrecks, and school closures, as well as never-ending talk of the weather ofthe future. Will it snow? Will there be ice? More closures? They are just about needing a cigarette they are so excited.

While I completely enjoy the snow, I despise all the drama that comes with it. Even worse, this time I didn't even get any snow or ice at my house and everyone else did. So I got all the drama without any of the snow. What's up with that? It was like someone drew a line in Vancouver about Mill Plain and all the people at the normal elevations north of that line got nothing. Oh, we got a few flakes on Sunday, but they didn't last long.

The dogs think the world is coming to an end. They are ready to move to Hawaii or anyplace where the temperature hovers around a comfortable 80 degrees (I just checked it and it's 74 degrees in Honolulu at the moment - at 4:30 in the morning). They don't get out of bed much when it is this cold.

Okay, more later.
