It was pretty foggy in places yesterday, to the point where anything south and east of me was under a dense fog advisory. We were fine by my house, but during one of the afternoon newscasts, the weather man on Channel 5, Paul Deanno, said it was like a Stephen King novel out there. The camera shot of Michigan Avenue behind the anchors led credence ( Read more... )

Yesterday was kind of a weird version of the holiday for me, since I had to work and then had band. I didn't get to hand out candy, though I was told by my dad that they had 23 trick-or-treaters ( Read more... )

After this weekend's snow, it seemed like the weather would be relatively decent the rest of the week. However, with above-freezing temperatures, that meant the snow would start melting and evaporating--meaning fog. But it was still below freezing at night, which meant the fog would freeze onto things. This is how we got a very pretty landscape ( Read more... )

It's unusually warm right now, highs in the mid-50s. It was very foggy this morning and didn't burn off until about 9 AM. Mom and I both had to work, and grandma had a doctor's appointment. When we spoke, briefly, on Sunday, grandma said she'd wanted to come here after her appointment since it was already closer than from her house. I was ( Read more... )

It's hump day! Sadly, it took until my mom got home from work for us to come to this realization. But, no really, it's true ( Read more... )

Life has been an adventure these past few days. The weather alone would have made it so, but toss in a family emergency ( Read more... )

I had to go back and find the entry where I promised 60F temps, because we've got 'em. Every day this week has been warmer than the next. I've been walking around in shorts and a T-shirt at times. Now *this* is what we've been waiting for. Take that, coldest-February-on-record ( Read more... )

Our normal Saturday night shopping trip turned into something more interesting tonight. Not only is tomorrow the Super Bowl, so people are prepping for parties and what have you, but we're also under a severe storm warning, where in the next couple days we're due to get over a foot of snow. Holy crap the lines were long. Like, we pulled into the ( Read more... )

This has been a long week--I hadn't been sleeping well, and then yesterday, between lack of sleep and a buttery caramel, I manage to get myself a decent headache. Ugh. Not fun. I was able to sleep okay, care of some ibuprofen, but I still wasn't 100% this morning. Which would be why I discovered, shortly after arriving at work, that I had my ( Read more... )

We're in that weird part of early fall where summer's trying to hang on; the mornings are cool to chilly but it warms up nicely by the afternoon. There's enough low-level moisture that my car is pretty dewy when I leave; sometimes I wipe down my windows, sometimes not. Depends how much time I have and how bad it is. The moisture sometimes makes ( Read more... )
