Too weird for words........

Here in the Not-So-Great-White-North things aren't great. They aren't horrible, they're just not great. They're not white either. We have not had snow since the big storm in October. That's long gone and it verges on the spooky quite frankly. The humidity has been high and two nights ago we had rain with thunder & lightning! We're half way through December!

With the humidity so high we have been having fog that just may rival London's. I find it spooky in that "Maybe-this-is-the-end-of-the-world-and-we-just-don't-know-it-yet-because-there's-that-quality-of-oh-my-God-there's-something-in-the-fog!!"

You know what I mean... remember the movie from the late 70's? (I heard they made a remake but nothing compares to; "There's something in the fog!!" and Adrienne Barbour crawling around the top of a lighthouse dodging zombie pirates)

When it comes to standing at your kitchen sink while doing the dishes and the fog is so thick it appears like the house 20 something feet away looks like a shadow rather than something solid. It does bring a slight chill on.

At least it was in the high 40's yesterday. Sweatshirt weather. Today was really raw. Much lower temps and a vicious wind. It seems more like early spring weather!

I know a number of people that are crabbing about no snow for Christmas... I'm along the lines of, "So what's your point?" Yeah, yeah... Bah humbug me..." I guess it's just not so much that I don't like Christmas or stuff like that. It's just me being practical.

Others: "Snow at Christmas, pretty, fluffy oh my!"

Me: "It snowed. Heavy, slippery, oh crap." I wonder if I need more pain medications before I go shovel.

But I'll wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! (Oh... I'm not doing the Season's Greetings thing... it's Merry Christmas. If that offends you, well just get over it.) There... Bah humbug.
