Winter Surprise

December 7, 2017 7:23am CST
I woke up super early this morning, and thought about going back to bed, but realized it was a good thing to be awake early. I'll be leaving in just over an hour for the hospital for my drug infusion for my colitis. However, being dark at 2 in the morning, I wasn't aware of what awaited me when I stepped out the door to go to the pool. Surprise! It snowed. For me that is a wonderful surprise. I know it isn't for a lot of people, and I do hope my son didn't have any trouble driving, as the roads are slippery, as I found out on my way to the pool. He drives 45 minutes to work and back. So, I thought I would give you all a glimpse of my world this morning. I am just home from the pool, and still need to eat before I leave. I will try to get as much interaction done before I leave in an hour. I think I'll leave a little early due to road conditions. How are you all doing this fine morning? Thanks for reading.

Yes, it is, and I think this is going to be around for a while. It's not going to get warm anytime soon to melt it.

That's great, I know how you love the snow. We woke to a tiny bit of it, but not enough to cover the ground. I'll be leaving for the hospital within the hour.

@just4him I was there early and they took me early. Just a good example of being willing to work with the powers that be. The lady that was ahead of me was really being a pain, she didn't have her blood work done, stated it was a religious belief and she went on an on. So really quietly a nurse came to where I was and told my nurse that they could take me now....quickly. And it was said very hushed so that the other lady nearby couldn't hear me. I guess manners do count!

@Juliaacv I'm glad they took you early. When will you know how everything went, or do you already know?

Only if Cleveland is played outside, as they play the Browns at their home stadium. I do think I just saw snow is expected in Ohio. So, it's possible.

@just4him Gotcha. I hope it sticks around for you, I know how much you love the snow. :) We got a little on Saturday; it kind of boosted the holiday mood in my house.

@tammys85 I'm sure it did. Well, I now have a full blown cold from this cold weather. I love winter, and snow, but the sudden plunge in temps was hard on me physically.

No, but it is the first that will stay because of the really cold temps for the next week or so. We had some really nice snow in November, but it was too warm to stick around.

@yugocean No, I won't. My grandchildren are all adults, and my great-grandchildren don't live near me.

@Courtlynn If I read that report right, you're going to get a lot more than we got with our little dusting. You'll need your shovel.

Yes, it did. I wasn't expecting it. When I looked at the ten day forecast there wasn't but one day with snow and that was a slim chance sometime next week.

Kids always like winter. At least that's the way it was when I was growing up. I'm glad you had a good day.

Actually it is now after 11 pm and I am taking some time to post for a bit. I have had a lot of excess pain today and had to take a pain pill but now trying to get some stuff done while I feel a little better.

@nanette64 At least we're seeing snow early this year. I just hope it doesn't start and stop early. That would be a real bummer. And there better be snow for Christmas, if not, that just won't be right either, especially for Wisconsin. I feel like I'm whining. We had flurries this morning and that made me happy. Accumulation would have made me happier, but at least it snowed.

Valerie, thank you for sharing the picture. I certainly do not the miss the snow. Since I no longer have a dog to enjoy it then I really would not enjoy it.

Yes, I did, and it went okay. I slept through it. They give you benedryl and tylenol and they said the benedryl makes a person sleepy. Yeah, I had a three hour nap.
