Happy Monday: Freaky Weather
Happy Monday! After working the weekend at the hospital, I drove home this 7am in THIS! It's the freakiest weather EVER. Sure it looks like some snow on the ground, right? Uh. No. Freezing rain and sleet. What the difference is between those two terms, I don't know, but the weather people are saying both things. The roads are N-A-S-T-Y!
It's really pretty in a very "Let's stay home and sleep!" kind of way. The absolutely weird thing about the weather is the one thing I can't show you. While that snow/sleet/freezing rain is coming down there are loooooooooong low rumblings of thunder and bright flashes of lightning. It's literally a thunderstorm raining ice. I'm fascinated. I'm also exhausted and will be heading to bed for the day, grateful for the dark.
Nighty night, all!



From what I see on the news this morning, things are pretty cold all over many parts of the Midwest. Well, spring is around the corner. So they say. :)

You're welcome to it! Here in Glasgow, Scotland, we're getting some nice sunshine & a bit of warmth, after weeks of it being freezing (literally)! We had a whole 8 hours of sunshine today! Woo Hoo!

I KNOW!! I can totally back you up on this one. It's crazy outside. Well, now I think it's stopped, but earlier....wow.
That was freaky with the thunder, lightning, and ice.
My work got canceled tonight and I'm gleeful.

The way the snow settled in your planter is pretty. :-)

Sher--That's for sure! It was a huge band of storms tracking northeast.
David--Sure, rub it in! :-)
Emiline--Yay for a day off! I know. The thunder and lightning was so freaky. Just not something you expect.
Butterfly--Thank you!
