Old Man Winter vs. Bill Withers

Yesterday Old Man Winter sneezed all over us. Then he decided it would be really cool to turn down the thermostat and freeze it all. Viewing his handiwork it appears he's not quite satisfied and has determined that a heavy blanket of sleet would cover it all up nicely. Thanks dude. Snow good...ice bad.

Today's forecast from NOAA: Today: Occasional freezing rain and sleet. Some thunder is also possible. High near 27. North wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Total daytime ice accumulation of around a 0.1 of an inch possible. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Tonight: A chance of freezing rain and sleet before midnight. Cloudy, with a low around 17. North northwest wind between 6 and 14 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Yeah...nice...but i got a little sumpin sumpin for that grizzled old fart...how bout a little Bill...

Nice images and tune for an overcast and COLD winter's day...

I feel for ya, Jay. All the nasty stuff (i.e.: ice) is to the east of us, and that's good for me... less so for you and yours. Stay warm, stay in, and if'n you HAVE to go out... be safe!

Old man winter should hire GBN2 to do his sneezing. I have never seen such a wet, snotty child, and when she sneezes...
