Mid-January: The Reality

Just when I thought global warming is actually shortening the winter season, we got hit by 4 consecative days of sleet. I'd prefer a few more inches of dry fluffy snow than ice and sleet. Yuk! Anyway, needless to say, I try to avoid going out if possible, and lets hope that there's no power failure so at least I'm still connected to the outside world through the Internet. Of course, it doesn't help knowing that my parents are now vacationing on the sunny beaches of Bali. I guess it's just two weeks into the new year and living in the Midwest, the worst is yet to come.
