Weather is rotten, but so far not nearly as rotten here as elsewhere in SD. We were awakened about 4 AM last night when it sounded like house was being blasted with heavy pouring rain. But when I looked out, we were getting sleet and that was a lot like getting pelted with small marbles. Maybe an inch of that accumulated and then a few hours of something approaching clearing. Not too long ago, snow started falling in a 20mph wind. Temperature still around 34F, but chill factor more like 20F. So far roads are warm enough that snow and sleet has melted off.
On a totally different tack, I put a Patsy Cline CD into the car player. Unlike the slurred, mumbling that seems a current fashion every word of her mostly sad songs is easily understood. Classics like "Crazy", "San Antonio Rose", "Back in Babies Arms Again" and a few I have never heard before all remind me of what a loss that plane crash that killed her and others really was.
Hope the weather is better for you that that here, and I hope we all get back to something a bit warmer and drier. And I hope TV weather forecasters get over their apparent glee about relating blizzard forecasts and weather compared to one more gray drizzly day with moderate wind and temperature.
