A Leetle Snow
I know the states north of me got hammered hard yesterday with lots and lots of snow and major power outages. Here, it rained, starting around noon and lasting most of the day with a touch of snow over night to finish.
Therefore we were left with iciness this morning. Yep, just enough snow to cover all the treacherous spots. That and the wind howling like mad.
It seldom "sounds" windy at our house. I guess it's all the trees. For the most part I hear the wind in the trees, but don't have that sense of it hitting the house.
Last night - it was hitting the house. More than I've heard in the 3+ years we've lived here. Felt almost like I was back in the Chicago burbs... except this is a much better house than any we had there and so - even when the wind hits it - it's got a solid feeling. (our last house I could swear I'd see the north wall move with the gusts)
The weird thing is, the temps are about the same as yesterday, but it feels so much colder today. Most odd.
Why am I weather blogging about such incredibly bland weather? Because I've been staring at computer code today. Code that should have been pretty easily worked into what I wanted it to do. Yet my brain cells resisted any pretense at comprehension. Resisted mightily.
There were a few glimmers and I spent time changing some code that I'm pretty sure I now simply need to delete.
In other words, I'm spinning my wheels today. So, I just got back from pilates, will now make dinner, and contemplate sitting under a blanket to warm myself up.
Maybe some hot tea will help. Heh.

Forget the tea; open up a nice bottle of red and settle in!

Actually, I have to stick with white wine because of migraines... however, I did have both. Some lovely chenin blanc and later some nice hot tea.
