The rain is coming...

Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson!

We have about 8 inches of snow on the ground even after several days of mid 30's temps.  It's heavy wet packed snow.

Rain is coming tonight - 1 to 3 inches.  Temps going up to the 50's. 

Warm, rain, frozen ground, melting snow - what could possibly go wrong?

Joy.

Maybe I should stop at DSW and buy rainboots tomorrow so I can wade back into my house.  That's always assuming the house isn't simply washed away.

I think it's too late to build an ark.

Ho-hum.

In other news my daughter called tonight to chat for a bit. 
Me: How's your brother?
Her: Oh he's fine, I saw him yesterday, B (his girlfriend) is in Florida.
Me: Florida? 
Her: Yeah, I think she's down there with her mom.
Me: You know, you got the short end of the deal in the mom department.  I never take you places.

I think I'll go read now.  It's shaping up to be a very very long 2 days.  If I survive until Wednesday things might slow down a bit. We'll see.  Wednesday is the current goal - just get to Wednesday then we'll worry about the rest of the week.

1 My kids used to complain that we never took them anywhere exciting (apparently interstate car trips, the zoo, planetarium, etc didn't count). Then we moved to Alaska - in fact, we drove up here - and they've been on planes until they're as tired of them as we are. I don't hear those complaints anymore.  Now the younger one complains that we haven't been on a long cruise ... sigh. I told her she's welcome to buy tickets for her mom & me.

4 Not worried about the water. But the frost heaves are going to ruin the springs in my car!!!

5 Rev Paul - sadly my children were deprived... I really didn't take them anywhere.  LOL. 

Pam - I think I'd rather have this than hurricanes!

Patti - give your horse a nice petting for me.

MGA - OMG I forgot about that - yes the frost heaves have been really bad this year.  I want to keep my car for another 100K - but at this rate it will simply shake apart in the next month or so... geeze!
