Here at the Fortress of Ineptiude, Andrea and I have reached the limits of our endurance of exile against the snow and ice.
It's not like we actually go out all that often in the first place.
When given a choice between going somewhere or staying home, we will opt for the more sedentary choice.
But it's one thing to not WANT to go somewhere.
It's another when you CAN'T go somewhere.
Two weekends ago, several inches of snow and ice were dropped on us here in central North Carolina.
One weekend ago, several more inches of snow and ice were added to what was already there.
Wednesday brought us some more.
And the snow and ice we were getting had little chance to melt with grey skies and even when the sun did get a chance to shine, temperatures were below freezing or even in the single digits.
Winter weather.... geez, enough already!
As I write this on Saturday, the sky is clear and sunny and the temperature is cold but just above freezing.
And the vast wastelands of snow and ice that surround the Fortress of Ineptitude are starting to recede.
But we've got a big problem with wind.
Wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour.
By the time this posts on Sunday, the wind is supposed slow down and temperatures will start to climb into the balmy 40's or 50's. On Wednesday, one week after our last snow, we're supposed to get all the way to 60.
Break out the sun screen, y'all!
As interminable as this winter weather has been, I suppose it will be spring then summer soon enough and then we'll have something new to complain about.
Why is it so hot? When will this heat wave ever end?
And we'll all be feeling....
Summer weather.... geez, enough already!
