Winter! Bleah!

No snow materialized. We had heavy flurries, but that's it...and the winter weather advisory was canceled. HOWEVER, we are now in line for the deep freeze! (As I typed that, I was reminded that "deep freeze" was what my parents called the freezer. Where is the meat? In the deep freeze. Oh, well!) Our temps are going into single digits and negative digits for the next few days, with wind chills in the 20+ below because of wind. With many apologies to childhood sweetheart Jim, who was born and raised in northern Wisconsin and woefully transplanted in Alabama for the life of his adult career without real winters, I AM ALREADY TIRED OF COLD! We are now under a watch for a couple of inches of snow, then bitter cold for several days. The children would really like to see snow--and I did, too, when I was a young'un. I just hate having to worry about scraping and driving in the dark to school every day. Ugh!
