Flakes the size of small snowballs
Are what is falling outside our house on top of the ice and rain puddles. The slush outside is a thing to behold and fear. Not going anywhere today. And this is with the outside temperature above freezing (OK it’s 33 so one degree but still).
Last year after we had weeks of this sort of weather, Peter jokingly declared that if Frozen won the Oscar, then Elsa might let up on us. It did and the weather went to an almost spring. Let’s just give Frozen a second Oscar and get this done with.
I did check, this is the first day above freezing in two weeks.
So we have dripping water from the eaves and snow.
Caroline is ready to go back to school tomorrow. She had done the assigned work for the break and has repacked her gym clothes.
The house actually feels warm for the first time in a while. The thermostats all declare that we have gotten the house to 68 degrees which is what we get everything at. Still have to bleed the zones that aren’t working well but I am going to wait on that for a bit.
The NFL combine happened this week where players that want into the NFL show off their skill set and how athletic they are. It is all for show since they train specifically for looking good at the combine and not for what playing in the NFL is really like. The sports pundits are having a field day over the littlest things like that one guy came in looking bloated so can he lose weight? This is the NFL not MMA. There are not weight classes for players. Have you seen the size of some of the players? It is an exercise in giving ESPN and all the other sports networks something to argue about until the draft.
Yes, we will be watching the Oscars tonight. I am torn about who I want to win what because this year has some really solid films and performances. By the end we will know what the mind of the Academy was this year. I am going to say it might go a bit anti-British which is a shame.
Off to sort out what I need to do today. Might have to try something fun in there. Do have to try to get laundry done.
I am grateful for temperatures above freezing.
