Boxing Day 2016 or as I like to call it, Slushy Rainy Snowy Horrible Stay Inside Day

This morning I was greeted with this from the deck:

Boxind Day 2016 and still more snow
Boxing Day, Snow Day–who can tell the difference?

Still more snow. And as forecast, it warmed up just enough to change to rain so sidewalks are now slushy messes and roads have rivers running curbside, topped with layers of slushy snow that might fool you into thinking they’re solid until a vehicle drives through and sprays you from head to foot with a delightful slurry of ice, water and mud.

The forecast over the next four days calls for rain or a chance of rain, so presumably at least the new stuff will wash away, leaving the crusty old stuff still lingering until New Year’s Eve, where 3-7 cm of new snow is forecast. Snow on New Year’s Eve–what could possibly go wrong?

On top of this, I now have that feeling in my sinuses and chest like I’m coming down with a cold. Just as my sore back is finally on the mend. Typical.

I make no promises that I won’t spend the rest of 2016 complaining about the weather and my possible cold. Good night!
