It's raining now. I am glad (add to that grateful) that it is warm enough to be rain instead of snow or ice, but I'm still very much done with Winter this year. That said, it may not be done with us yet. More snow is forecast over the next few days, then it'll melt away mid week — possibly to return again next week. SIGH.

it's snowing ...

They said that it was possibly going to snow this week. They said the potential for accumulation was going to be the greatest on Wednesday and Thursday. It's Tuesday, we have accumulation. Granted it's an inch, maybe two. Still hoping the day will get warmer and this will all wash away with the rain.

UPDATE: It did not rain at all, only snow. We had the snow, then melt, then snow routine going on (off and on) over the next several days. Blah.

The fact that there is nothing that I can do about the weather coming our way does not make me feel any better. Regardless of the weather, I still need to be able to get to work. Seriously, I can not afford not to be there.


Usually I'm a bit comforted by the fact that J. has a 4WD truck that can get us most anywhere in inclement weather. This week however said truck is not working (at least not consistently). Which leaves me on my own transportation-wise, and that fact has me more stressed than usual.


Over-reacting, I know. Willing myself to stop it, though some times it seeps through.


I am sure that everything will be fine, and that what ever driving I have to do in the upcoming weather will be a fun, safe adventure. At least that's what I'm telling myself. ; )
