Mother Nature is Indecisive

Mother Nature is really fickle today. The early morning was dry and 'mild' for this time of the year. Eventually the rain moved in, which I did not mind as the SUV is covered with road salt and looks awful. The rain lasted for most of the afternoon. Late this afternoon I went out to pick up something at a store. The rain was turning into snow. The huge fluffy pieces of snow that make you want to stick your tongue out to catch them as they fall. I stopped at the store, got what I needed and on my way home I noticed that the temperature had dropped 1 degree and was at the freezing mark. The roads were messy. The snow and water on them had turned into a slippery slushy mess. I had a hard time stopping at one point, and had to adjust my speed to the road conditions. Now it is coming down so hard the roads are covered. Poor, poor Mother Nature, she cannot make up her mind today it seems.

It stopped here, I don't know if it will get really cold tonight and freeze hard or not.

You're lucky to have had the sun, here was the other, clouds, rain and then the snow. We got a bit of an accumulation. I am afraid that the streets may be messy in the morning, my hubs offered to take me grocery shopping as I don't like driving in the bad weather.

Mother Nature is confused as well. She is confused due to all the activities of man kind.

She does seem a bit confused, but we are to blame with the global warming.

Enjoy the warmth. I went to get groceries this morning around 7am, and it was still dark and only -12C it 'warmed up' to -10C by the time that I got home.

On the other hand, we had a lovely warm sunny day, I walked two blocks to the convenience store early in the morning and it made me happy to hear birds singing, I am looking forward to spring,

I am so happy for you that it was like a lovely spring day there. Yesterday I felt 'springy' and bought a pretty new spring blouse.

She is powerful. I hope that she doesn't flex her muscles too much today on us, we want a break.

Gosh, that would have been an anxious time driving home. I wouldn't like that at all.

It was just the last half of the drive when I got nervous because I braked once and the SUV slid. I will not drive today if the road conditions look poor, Ron will drive me to get groceries.

That is a huge fluctuation in temperature. I haven't looked outside just yet, so I do not know what it has done over night. It is still dark here. Let's try to have a great day.
