mmegaeraA dusting of snow, to be precise. And because it hasn't gotten above freezing for over a week now and the lows have been in the teens (coldest spell we've had in years according to the weatherpeople), the ground is frozen and even that little bit of white stuff is sticking to the pavement. There's more predicted by morning, then changing to freezing rain, then rain by late afternoon.
I'd planned to get out for a bit tomorrow, since I stayed home today and wrote (almost 1200 words today on the modern-day Much Ado thingy -- best day I've had since before Thanksgiving) and worked on the website and the museum stuff. I may be changing my plans, though, at least till the rain melts whatever ice shows up.
Our highs will be over twenty degrees warmer by Wednesday, so say the prognosticators. From the twenties to the forties, nights above freezing (lows higher than the highs we've been living with for the last week), and rain again! Yay! I won't feel like a potato chip anymore. A cold potato chip, in fact. It's amazing how much colder dry air feels even when the thermostat says it's warm, and trying to up the humidity in the house only does so much good.
P.S. 'Hawks lost yesterday, to the 49ers, at Candlestick in SF, in a very close game -- the final score was 17-19, the lead seesawed back and forth, and they were ahead until the final seconds of the game. And thus the eight-game winning streak comes to an end.
It's ridiculous. I was so used to them winning that it really came as a shock when they lost [wry g]. But they still have the best record in the NFL! And two of their last three games are at home.
