So... You'd not know it was January to judge from the weather. NOTE: I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. My only worry is that it might hurt the trees. When it's unseasonably warm like this and the sap starts rising early, a cold snap could potentially kill a lot of them. In the meantimes, though, it's been cloak weather! Yay! Usually I don't ( Read more... )

It is February, and we have snow. Again. Joy.Life continues much as usual. Days are filled with toddler-raising, Gothic Literature (as soon I'll be making my contribution to the Corvey Project), Latin poetry (yay, the Pharsalia!), and, among other things, Dragon Age ( Read more... )

Ugh. Done with winter now. Ditch the blizzard and bring on spring already.

Still in hibernation mode. Have lovely Dragon Age and Gothic Lit to keep me company. Good stuff.

Perhaps more later when I'm less likely to maim another human as talk to one.

Today the sun came out for the first time in a week! Now, if only it would warm up. It's been twenty--that's right, TWENTY FUCKING DEGREES--below normal. At least it's edging up there, albeit slowly ( Read more... )

Oy! Greetings from the frozen tundra, eh! Forgive me--the Canadians have been calling me en masse at work. ^_^;; But, we are pretty much frozen around here. If any of you have paid much attention to the National Weather Service, we've just had what has been dubbed either the White Christmas Blizzard or the Holiday Blizzard, depending on how ( Read more... )

Happy May Day and Beltane, all! Hopefully this means nice weather for everyone for a while. The weather the last several days has SUCKED around here (that is, cold and wet and generally un-May-like), but I suppose it could be worse ( Read more... )

Happy Groundhog Day, everyone! And, if superstitions are correct, any groundhogs around here all saw their shadows, so it'll be another six weeks of winter. I can only hope that doesn't necessarily translate to six more weeks of snow...

Nebraska's a funny place, especially in the winter. About the time January (usually our coldest month) rolls around, we have an interesting little phenomenon that I call "crystal cold" days. In other words, the skies are clear, the sun is shining, it looks wonderfully nice outside--but it's REALLY, REALLY FUCKING COLD. Today is such a day. It ( Read more... )

Hee! They cancelled classes after all! ^_^V
