Mr. Weather Dude said Tuesday night that Wednesday would be cold but there might be a “dusting” of snow to the north and west…………uhhuh………..yeah……….OK……….I can work with that! Right? Wrong! If that was a dusting we got today – even though it was only an inch or so – I’ll be a monkey’s uncle (and that would be interesting since I’m a CAT!!!!).
Just a bit of snow early on – didn’t stick to the roads in our town – and out here it looked like this:
Seriously………….why not say “there’s a chance of snow throughout the Washington, DC region tomorrow”………..then we’re prepared…………we sorta know that we very well could have snow. Plans could be made accordingly. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Good thing my Mom and Dad are retired and didn’t HAVE to go somewhere because the “dusting” we got turned out to be VERY slick……….Thank heavens for 4-wheel drive because my Dad – believing that there would be if ANY snow, a “dusting” left the house to run a lot of errands……..he was inside a store shopping for an hour and came out to a snowstorm of sorts…….BIG FAT JUICY FLAKES – no dust in sight. HAHAHA He got home alright of course and made it up our uphill driveway thanks to the Blazer……..
So you know how I complain all the time about the weather? (If you don’t know that you should because I’m either griping about the rain or the snow or the temperature!) I’m registering a complaint about the weather this time for sure.
Maybe I’m just getting really crotchety in my old age……….maybe I should just be glad I’m here PERIOD regardless of what’s going on with the weather. After all, Mom and I were snug inside the house – I had access to her lap when she wasn’t on the computer – so why should I complain?
MAYBE just because I CAN complain………….age has its’ privileges after all!!!
Oh my Sammy it looks so pretty but with it comes dangers and I can see why you are so grumpy! best you snuggle with mum or you could apply for weatherman job! you surely couldn’t do a worse job! loves and hugs Fozziemum xx

Oh, I think complaining about the weather is just one of our favorite hobbies here in the Northeast! It gives us something to do while we’re stuck inside because of crappy weather!
Sometimes I think the weatherman really need to find better terms for the amount of snow or rain they say we’re going to get. How many times have they said “rain showers” when it ended up pouring rain, non-stop, all day long? Showers are supposed to be off and on, but they don’t seem to know that any better than the difference between a dusting of now and an inch or more!
Glad your Dad was safe when running his errands…we wouldn’t dream of being without our 4 wheel drive.
