Is it cold in here, or just me?
Old man winter is back in Iowa, and he brought some of his rotten bastard cousins with him – wind chill, blowing snow, and the worst of them: sub-zero temperatures. What – just because we really didn’t have much winter to speak of over the last 60 days we have to have it all now??? I mean, seriously - let's spread some of that love around, okay?
I know that I really shouldn’t bitch too much. We got hammered at the end of November, but ever since it’s been pretty mellow around here. Temps have even reached the upper 50’s a couple of times – not that impressive if you’re living in Key West, but here in Sewer City in January? That rocks, man. So complaining about a couple of days of frosty weather when we could’ve had 5 months of this crap would just be nit-picking. But 15 below zero tomorrow won't be a picnic, that's for sure.
So winter is back, reminding us that we’re in the Land of Four Seasons. And when I get home this afternoon, I’ll have to pay homage to the Weather demons by shoveling their little minions out of my driveway. Take that, suckers.
In another 6 weeks winter will be a distant memory, for the most part, and who knows – by early April we may actually have some leaves on the trees and the lawn will once again be green.
But for now, it’s time to bundle up, put on your thermal Spider-man underoos, and hope to God that the idiot drivers went home an hour before you have to go drive in it.
As for me, I’m seriously considering hibernation. Go to bed and nap the rest of this cold snap away. Hey, it works for Yogi and Boo-Boo, maybe it’ll work for Tom.
