Just watched the Ag Day's 30 day forecast........
For our area, he forecasted below normal temps (again ) along with above normal precip, which combined with the below normal temps, I assume he means in the form of more snow....God forbid we have any major freezing rain or ice storms again..... < please don't allow me to have just jinxed us! Lol
He did add that although below normal temps, they won't be as drasticically low as what we've been experiencing most of this winter. (Silver lining??)

I'm sooooooo over this winter!!!!!!

Ready to see some green!

Yesterday was a great example of how the weather is wearing me down. Saturday night went to a wedding in Cincy. Had to get home by 11 AM Sunday. We stayed over night at my sons house in Englewood. Driving home Sunday morning we are getting freezing rain, sleet and snow. Roads are wet, slick in spots...etc. I apparently can not drive in that to please my wife. I need to always slow down. Not get so close. Run the windshield wipers. Use the windshield washer. Don't use the windshield washer fluid all up. Turn the wipers off. Slow down. Stay back so the car in front isn't throwing stuff on the windshield. Hurry up so we get home in time. Slow down. Don't follow so close.

I should have just let her drive-but we wouldn't have gotten home by 11.

My wife is the same way except she can't drive on anything with more than two lanes(panic attacks-don't ask me she was that way when I met her)She can't drive on four lanes, but has no problem telling me how to

I have found out over the years tho, that if she has a few adult beverages before we leave, it make the trip much more enjoyable for the both of us It's even better if she falls asleep

Coming back to the Palacial Estate on Christmas night we made it from the wife's parents to our front door in 65 minutes. This was my personal record time.

It helped that before we got 15 miles down the road everyone in the car was asleep... except for me. No advice on how to drive and traffic was light. Hammer down...

I agree.

"Do you have your lights on?"

"What is the speed limit thru here?"

"Are you gonna turn the wipers on?"

"Would you see better with the brights turned on?"

"Why are you so close to this semi?"

"Did you know we'd hit construction?"

"How much longer till we're home? The kids are tired."


But my personal favorite, and this one is part "Murphy's Law" and another part my wife being a woman....

"Why didn't you park there? That spot is a lot closer than where you parked us."
