Tammi's World

Stormy Weather

You all remember that old saying about March - "In like a lion, out like a lamb".

Well, I don't know how accurate that really is, but this year He sure came in like a lion.

Tornadoes ripped through the south. Snow storms crippled the midwest.

Personally, I've been too busy to even realize it was the end of February. Tuesday night, I left work and ended up driving in a sleet storm that looked a hell of a lot more like hail than any sleet I'd ever seen.

Thursday I woke to rain. Lots and lots of rain. Oh, which of course means ice hidden in there somewhere.

Last night's drive was clear. I remember saying to someone how grateful I was that the water had dried up. I had heard the temps might drop and was NOT looking forward to the icy drive this morning.

I looked up and saw black wall of clouds. I have to admit, it was a beautiful sight - sunset with that as the backdrop. But I knew. I knew that was all bad......

I was right. Temps dropped. And ohhhhh you should have heard the wind last night. I looked out my bedroom window this morning and the world is once again covered in snow. But when I went to the door, none was on my deck.

OK - no shoveling. That's a plus. But the drive this morning is going to suck wet socks. Blowing, drifting, ice, basic ickyness.

I hear it's still snowing. All the way into Chicago. I'll be taking it nice and slow. No need to rush - between my blackberry and my cell phone I've got a virtual office in my car.

But I'd love to think this is the last hoorah. I'd love to think that in about 4 weeks things will start that thaw and we can start to see some signs of spring.

At this point I'll take the mud and rain.

A little lamb would be good about now.
