Hello Jack Frost, I thought you left?

February 21, 2011 by Nutty Hiker Last Modified: October 3, 2017Leave a Comment

Hello, Jack Frost, I thought you left!

Two days ago it was a beautiful sunny 70 degrees here in Baltimore. We took my SUV to wash it (first time in 6 months) and then cleaned and vacuumed the inside. It was a very welcome break from the harsh cold we have experienced this winter.

My husband (who has duty today/tonight) called me a couple of hours ago to give me a weather update. A weather update? What in the hell is talking about I think to myself. “Babe”, he says, “watch the weather, they are expecting 4-7 inches of snow tonight”. At this point I think he is being an ass and joking around. Turns out he was serious. We are under a Winter Storm Warning and are expected to get 4-7 inches of sleet/snow. WTF!?!?!?!

Guess that is what I get for not watching the TV in 4 days! I knew it was colder (I had to turn the heat back on inside) but I didn’t realize it was THAT cold! Maybe it’s for the best. After all, I still have a ton of stuff to do in the house to prepare for our PCS to Fort Lee.

Bundle up, Jack Frost hasn’t left yet!
