Leap Eve

By the looks of things, you'd think March is going to come in like a lion. But who knows -- this is only Leap Eve. We have an extra day between now and then so it could change completely before we leap into next month.

At least the weathermen were right about one thing -- this storm system is going to touch every corner of Wisconsin (I'm sure Minnesota, too). I hope they are wrong about the rest, though, especially accumulation amounts. You can see on the radar map that Wisconsin Rapids is right on that all-important dividing line between snow and rain. That can only mean one thing: ice.

But we'll see how things develop tonight. I know one person in this house is really, really hoping for a snow day. And if it means shutting the alarm off and rolling over, make that 3 people!

Early today, it didn't look like anything was going to happen. It was sunny at times with nothing starting until late afternoon. We went into work early so I could tackle the stuff I missed yesterday on my day off. (It sure was a relaxing commute with hubby driving instead of me!) I went to the fitness center over lunch to run since it doesn't look like I can do it outside for awhile.

Tonight we had hoped to go to the high school boys basketball playoff game but they called that off early. Assumption is hosting Wabeno, which is far enough north they didn't want people to have to travel. Right now they have it rescheduled for tomorrow night. We'll see how the day transpires.

It would be nice if we just got an inch of snow and no ice. Hubby is supposed to drive down to Madison and fly to St. Louis tomorrow. It's supposed to just be rain down there but who knows what Old Man Winter will drop between here and there. He's gotta make an impression since he hasn't been around much lately.

Good thing we have this extra day this year to shovel out.

Yeah. Good thing.
