Flog or Food?

What a weird weather day. It rained all day -- causing flood concerns in some areas. And then the fog hit this afternoon right before our drive home -- causing some visibility concerns in a lot of areas.

I was trying to figure out if Flood + Fog = Flog or does Fog + Flood = Food? That can't be right. But it would explain, in part, why we compare fog to "pea soup," right?

The good news is the rain (predicted for the next 2 days, too) should make the snow disappear -- making Punxsutawney Phil look like quite the prognosticator. I won't mind seeing green, er brown, again. But we all know in Wisconsin and Minnesota that we will have at least one more arctic blast before we can officially declare it Spring.

The sad part of it is that our Olympic sled run is disappearing by the day. Ironically, we got the most use out of it before Christmas -- then we had that awful freezing rain and it mucked it up pretty good. The happy part is that once the snow goes, we can get our bikes out and, more importantly for the 11-year-old, a certain scooter that Santa brought. (Assembly still required.)

We'll see how this plays out -- or melts out. I have a feeling I'll be writing the same thing in a month. Spring is almost here!

Dang, this Spring Fever is quite the vicious disease.
