A Chill Is In The Air

I think I awoke Mother Nature with my post the other night about our weekend. I mentioned that for our trip to the Christmas Tree Farm the weather was unseasonably mild compared to years past. I should have been tipped off that night that the mild weather was about to end because I recall as I sat in our basement on the computer that I could hear the wind outside rattling the windows. It was so loud in fact that it woke Anna up and she promptly announced, "momma I think it is very windy out." She couldn't have been more right.

The temps have dropped and we aren't seeing much above the 30's. The wind has picked up and snow has been flying around during the day although to this point not amounting to anything but a light dusting that the gusts of winds quickly do away with.

The forecast for the weekend while changing about every 12 hours is calling for snow. We thought we might be out of the "threat zone" but now it is sounding like the metro area may be in for a wintry weekend. Of course we are celebrating Ryan's birthday on Saturday so that figures. My parents and Aunt will come up Saturday morning and luckily they had planned long ago to spend the night so I don't have to worry about them driving home.

I greet the thought of snow with mixed feelings -- it is beautiful and of course living in Minnesota you have to like snow. But I hate the mess it makes of my car and I hate boots and driving in slush. I know I know, quit your whining Carol -- if you really dislike snow so much you should move south. Nah, I will always be a Midwest girl, snow, boots and all! :-)
