And the snow's gone.........

Fog advisory In Effect Tomorrow Morning!

Wow... The Not-So-Great-White-North has been experiencing some very strange weather. In October the temps were running routinely at or 10 degrees below the "normal" range for this time of year.

The snow melted and we are actually breaking previous record high temps for November! There's not so much as a hint of snow on the ground, and the deer hunting was more like a race to get the deer gutted, registered, skinned and cut up for immediate freezing. Simply put... all this weather stuff is just nuts!

It was nearly 60 degrees yesterday! I was wearing only a tee-shirt and jeans while cleaning out my Dad's rain gutters. (Oh man... I hate doing that!) Primarily because it takes me two days to recover! I've made liberal use of muscle relaxers in the last 24 hours. It's the only thing keeping me moving. You know... not needing a coat, hat & gloves outside at this time of year verges on the creepy!

My fearless musher doll, is facing pretty nasty conditions as well. In Alaska no less! They've only had one or two scant snow falls and as a result daily training for the Iditarod is becoming an issue.

There's a possibility that they may get snow this week. Odd as it is, I am praying for snow. For her.

I'd be perfectly content to spend the rest of the winter snowless. I don't even care if we don't have a white Christmas! There I said it! Bah, humbug on me, but from a practical standpoint... Nope, sorry would still be happy without any!

This is going to be short. I'll try to add more tomorrow. I called dibs for one of my "Mental Health Days" for Monday. It is clearly time for one... I do it ever so often, the phone goes unanswered, and no calls are made. (Other than checking in with Dad)

Mostly I do it to try and pull my scattered self together... the last couple of months I've been like a BB bouncing around in a boxcar. Hence... a mental health day.

Since one of my more cynical thoughts for gray, gloomy days is, "A day like this really helps savor a bad mood..." With tomorrow's fog warning, it seems appropriate!

HA!

Who knows what the end of the day will bring... maybe I'll upgrade from BB to pellet!
