I think it went up to 11 degrees today. That’s eleven, mind you.
No howling winds or driving snow or any of that kind of mayhem. Just a steady as-she-goes eleven, all day long.
It’s a big transition day, because you’re caught between seasons with respect to wardrobe and footwear. I know, we all get through it in the end, but it’s worth mentioning. Still, it’s too early to celebrate. Tomorrow has an expected high of 2 degrees, followed by Saturday at 5. That’s not spaghetti strap weather for most folks.
Anyways, a lot of stuff is going on right now, like the rain last night and yesterday, the melt, the fallen trees, people with no electricity.
It was an ice storm. Not on the same scale as that really big one back in like, 1997, but an ice storm nevertheless. I watched large trees break apart and come down, and I bet a lot of others saw similar stuff happening. A very dangerous series of conditions, especially for anyone in close proximity to these events.
But calm has been restored. Although cool tomorrow and Saturday, temperatures are predicted to rise consistently into the double-digits.
April can be a brutal month, and not a lot of fun. Some people say what you get at Easter is what you get for the whole month.
And Easter’s supposed to look not bad.
