It's Now A Waiting Game

I get tickled when people get excited when it warms up like spring in winter. Because when that happens here in western NC, that means old man winter will strike in a big way. Two Sundays ago, people were so happy and excited because we reached 70 degrees. I said that is a bad thing. And it was. Because just 2 days later we barely reached 32 for a high. Last week we warmed up again for a day. Not to 70 this time but in the mid 60s which is still above average for our area, mid 40s is average highs. And now we are waiting for snow and another massive cold front to come park on top of us for the next couple of days. We are expecting 1-3 inches of snow but then Thursday-Friday it will be once again bitterly cold, teens are expected for lows, highs in the 30s. On years when we don't have freakish high spring like days in Feb. our winter is more normal, not so roller coaster with the temps. Spring will be here soon enough. Before it arrives, I will enjoy one more snow for this winter. And am thankful because unlike many of the 35-36 winters I have spent here, we actually had 3 snows this season. One in Dec. One in Jan. and one soon in Feb. I think that the last time that happened was 25-30 years ago. And each storm wasn't bad. Dusting in Dec. 1-2 inches in Jan. and they are calling for 1-3 inches tomorrow. To those living where you are bitter cold and getting hammered with feet of snow, my heart goes out to you. I hope you stay safe, and warm. picture is from google. Reminds me of a place not to far from where we live.
