SOMEBODY STOLE THE SNOW! ! ! ! ! !

SHIP'S LOG:

     Last week, the lovely hamlet of Griswold received somewhere between 8 to 10 inches of light fluffy snow. The bitterly clod temperatures insured that it would stay "fluffy" and the winds insured that it would blow around everywhere. Both also insured that going outside was a crazy thing to do, especially as I had the beginnings of my "annual" January cold.  It hit full bore by Sunday (two exits no waiting) so I really wasn't going anywhere.

     So you can imagine what a surprise I had when I awoke this morning to find the snow was GONE! And not only was the snow gone, the temperature was hovering around 60! I can't recall such a weather turn-around ever happening. It is really bizarre. To make it even more so is the forecast weather for the next few days when the cold is to return with a real arctic blast. There is also a dusting of snow forecast to come as well. Strange doesn't even begin to describe he weather. It is even further beyond the pale that the wildest of NOAA's opium inspired dreams. You know things are all out of kilter when Green Bay looses a game in Green Bay in brutal cold to  team from California.
