Depressing revelation
When I walked outside this morning, I thought to myself, It's warm out! I don't really even need to wear my coat.
It was TWENTY degrees outside, folks.
And I hear we're supposed to get dumped on with 12+ inches of snow within the next 2 1/2 days. Oh my gosh. Could winter be over yet?

WINTER STORM WARNING
When I got up this morning, my browser indicated our area was having "Severe Weather Conditions," which I could plainly hear outside my bedroom window.
I checked out accuweather.com to see what they had to say about it, and here is what I found:
"Dangerous weather conditions will occur today through Monday. VERY STRONG WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH THE FRIGID TEMPERATURES TO PRODUCE LIFE THREATENING WIND CHILL VALUES AND SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.
THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. PEOPLE NEED TO STAY INDOORS AND RESTRICT UNNECESSARY TRAVEL. EXPOSED FLESH WILL EXPERIENCE FROSTBITE IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. BLOWING SNOW WILL CAUSE WHITE OUT CONDITIONS AND SIGNIFICANT DRIFTING SNOW WILL MAKE TRAVEL ON NORTH SOUTH ROADS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.
I was instantly nervous, as I had already ventured out to the grocery for some Kahlua cake staples. Had I contracted frostbite? Had I put my life and others' in danger?
Directly following this very stern warning, was another posting...
WINTER STORM WARNING IS CANCELLED...BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EST TONIGHT.
A blizzard...?
This February is turning out to be awesome!
