Is Your Weather as Nice as Mine?
It's been freezing rain all day and sleet is still hitting the windows, the temperature's still dropping and we're supposed to get a minimum of 5" and maybe up to 12" - of snow in this part of the state tonight. Are you having as much fun tonight as I am?

It was just rain here today. I ended up having my game (just got back), but my brother didn't have his ()....go figure on that one!! Get this, he was scheduled to be at Effingham HS and they were playing St. Anthony (right across town -- i.e. located in the same town). His got cancelled and mine at St. Anthony was a go. I understand their concern, however I think everyone hit the panic button too quick. Oh well... better safe than sorry!

You've been warned about global warming but you didn't listen. Now you get to experience the effects!

My wife, a doctor acquaintance, and I were talking today. The doctor complained about how cold it was and my wife agreed. At the time it was 72 degree with 10-15 kt winds.

A girls HS softball game was played at the school across the street from my home today. Most of the kids were in long sleeves...they were cold.

Man do you get spoiled in Honolulu. Sorry...

Well, you speak for all of us. In fact, you probably should have made it bigger and bolded it!! I'm glad you didn't add any four-letter embellishments, though. Then it would have just been edited.

Yep, and the rain started just as I walked into the office (Alexandria). Knew it was going to be a crappy day when it took me 1 hour & 45 minutes for the commute that is usually 50 minutes (on a bad day). 4 accidents and 1 of them was a car on its roof 1/2 mile from work. Took 30 minutes just to clear that accident.

It's a different tune here today. Snow and ice.... there probably won't be many games tonight, as the roads are already bad.
