Yes -- the day began with pushing some wet slushy snow. I had to do this. We had a half day of rain and the temperature reached 12C (50ish F). In the past hour the temperature has dropped 7 degrees -- obviously a flash freeze underway. So, moving the slushy junk made sense or it would be solid tomorrow. The rest of the day was filled with grading the final exam. It took longer than I'd expected, so there is another full day needed tomorrow. Likely this isn't a bad thing, since it will be icy everywhere tomorrow, staying inside might be a good plan. <smile>
When checking the weather network, an announcer in Halifax had comedian Ron James commenting on the weather. Going from -17C yesterday to +12C today is a huge swing. James noted that we are all seeing Mother Nature going through the change, having hot flashes and trouble with her internal thermostat control. That did make me smile in the midst of grading.
The wind was strong from late afternoon until about half an hour ago -- lights flickering all evening, with me just thinking that I need to finish this grading and a flashlight just won't work.<smile>. How's that for cranky and obsessive <grin>. I did open the door earlier in the day just to feel the warmer air. It reminded me of a song about a warmer Christmas. Enjoy!
