Talkie Zoo: Intermission

Well, folks, I really thought I'd be seeing a lot more movies over the next few days. It was predicted we'd get sleet and snow flurries, some of which would stick. That kind of forecast means I stay home and do not venture out on the highways. However, for some strange reason, the temperature from mid-afternoon yesterday until now -- 1:30 am on Christmas Day -- has remained at a steady 37 degrees F.

I haven't needed much more than a heated blanket and a small electric heater to stay warm in my house. Certainly, I haven't needed so much as a heavy coat to go outside. This is indeed strange weather, since it's rained most of the day Christmas Eve and is expected to be sunny and warm Christmas Day, all day.

No sleet. No snow. No white Christmas.

I can't say I'm sorry we didn't get all that, since I prefer warm weather anyway. I guess I'm just tired of the weather service announcing the hazardous weather warnings, preparing for the bad weather, then having it by-pass us completely.
