Winter 2014/15

[jim]

It was burn your face cold this morning. Now it's just raw - 37 and gray and windy, and there is some snow moving in tomorrow. 1-3". I see in St. Louis you are in the 60's tomorrow and 70's on Tuesday and this highlights how depressing our spring is up here. Winter just hangs on for another 3-4 weeks around here.

edit .. AND it's snowing right now. Son of a [expletive].

It's a 42 degree diff right now between STL and where my brother lives in southernmost WI.

I just shoveled. 2 in of wet heavy [expletive] with sleet hitting me in the face.

That was the absolute worst commute of the year. It took my wife almost an hour and a half (30 is normal). She has to get in 355, and that was a parking lot. My 25-30 minute was 45, but it was terrifying.

It's a full fledged blizzard.

Last night they were saying up to an inch, and now that 3 has already falling and it's coming down like gangbusters they have changed it to 5. BRILLIANT! These weather guys are on the ball.

I was looking at the Storms Prediction Center website to see what they were thinking about the severe weather we are supposed to get in the next few days when I saw they had a mesoscale discussion out for heavy snow in the Chicago area. I was greatful I don't live in Chicago. Here we are just four hours south and it's still spring. Birds chirping, grass greening, and so on.

Just took this.. the view I have looking out of my office:



Isn't that a bunch of bull [expletive]?

Here's the view from my office. I'd say yours has its charms.

Not complaining about my office view, that semi-circle thing below is a fountain and in the summer that's kind of nice to have right out front. Just over yonder about 1/2 mile is a herd of about 75 bison, a pond with bass, bluegill, and carp just past the parking lot that I can walk to at lunch. I can complain about the weather and my job, but I won't complain about the office.
