Bitter Cold A-Coming

     Last week we had record breaking or near warm temperatures here in Mississippi. This after just a few weeks prior record snowfall! Now the temperature is dropping like a paralyzed falcon and for New Year's Eve and day are supposed to have a "Wintery mix" of precipitation, freezing cold... Eve, low in the 20's or teens high of 34 Day and a deep freezing low that night. Into the low twenties if not teens again.
     We should be selling lots of soup at the grocery where I work... Hey! And it's on sale too!

     The best thing I can thank God for is that I should be the only member of my family out on the road during the less than pleasant weather. I lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado for six years so I know the main rule to driving on icy roads. That being: Think fast but drive slow!
     And I did go into my closet and pulled out my long drawers. Being a skinny old man, in 20 degree weather my butt cheeks would start chattering without them!

     Looking out my back window right now the low air is clear of the fog we have recently had but the sky is completely white with clouds, not a ray of Sunshine in sight.
    I'm just now praying that anybody who wants to stock up on vittles goes now and gets their dumb butts off the road and stays home unless they have an emergency... and then call 911!
