When there's nothing to say, talk about the weather

Today was one of those days that confirmed that winter is just around the corner. We still have 45 minutes of sunlight to lose before the official day is announced, but it seems it might be arriving early. Snow flakes fell from the sky. It started out to be sunny, but then the clouds started building, and before I had a chance to figure out what was going on, a heavy grey cloud was over head and the flakes started falling ever so gently. I didn't realize it was cold enough. I had been working, so I was toasty underneath my clothes. I apparently dressed properly today considering the temperature. I'm a coward when it comes to being cold; I hate it. So my choices in the morning before I go to work are based on the temperature ranges. Anything below 40 degrees Fahrenheit means I'm packing a suitcase. That suitcase is going to be chock full of fleece, gloves, hats, and what ever else that will keep my everything warm. Once I start working though, all the layers start coming off, until a comfortable body temperature is met once again.

The snow didn't last very long, it was definitely a teaser, a trial run you might say. The sun came out again in hardly any time, and I warmed up plenty. The sun makes a huge difference when your looking for some warmth outside; especially on those really cold frigid days.

Tomorrow will be a tad warmer, and it's a good thing. I have to take a CPR class and an aerial rescue class. I hope the aerial rescue is in the afternoon when it's a little warmer out there.

Until next time: stay happy, stay warm!
