We are iced in on top of our ridge line in Greenwood, Arkansas today. Our deck is like a skating rink. I almost landed on my head yesterday – filling up our bird feeders and hanging a double container of suet – and so threatened my husband with death if he tried to go out there. I haven’t been out enough to know if we have broken branches yet.
Our forecast reminds me of a gathering my parents had at their house years ago. My dad had his own advertising agency in Tulsa, OK, and the gathering was a business one, full of people who had to do with radio and TV advertising. The talk turned to the weather, and weather forecasts. Someone laughed and said their very FAVORITE forecast was a local one, where the weather forecaster predicted, “FLEEZING DIZZLE.” Someone else held their head and said, “Oh, no! That was me!”
So “Fleezing Dizzle” is forecast to continue here, with the addition of probably snow over the weekend and even worse Monday. It’s 18 degrees F. right now. A GREAT day to have a warm, dry house.
We did have things scheduled, but I rescheduled a doctor appointment, so I don’t have to get a blood test this morning, plus we cancelled Lunch Bunch for tomorrow. The Greenwood Public Schools have gone to “Online Learning” today, and I suspect, also tomorrow.
Amber, our 95 pound yellow lab, discovered the hard way that ice is slippery this morning. She went rushing out, barking, as she does routinely, and ended up sliding all the way down the sidewalk behind our house. I didn’t see the look on her face, but I know she was shocked.
She might have looked like this –
I hope you have a safe, warm day ahead.
