Not the Prom Queen

I feel like I'm running from the impending freeze that is quickly covering the city in only seconds Day After Tomorrow style! I swear I went outside and damn near froze in mid step! I've been home for an hour (turned the heater on when I walked in) and still have my trench coat on and my feet are not recovering from hypothermiathat has crept up to my knees.

I didn't sign up for this!

Blazing heat - ok. Humidity that can suffocate - no problem. Category 5 hurricanes - I'm there. But below freezing temps... Aw, hell no!

Schools have been announcing closures. The daycare too. My work said telecommute if the ice is heavy. The city is on standby for a full shut down.

All except the 1 store that has to sell cell phones while the city is at a stand still - my hubby still has to work. Geez - Like people are going to be running out buying cell phones while below freezing temperatures, freezing rain and icy roads plague the city...

This morning I'm headed to work. I stop at the bank and realize I don't have my atm card. Apparently I used it the night before to get gas, but misplaced it. I park in the lot and open my door to dig around under the seats missing card. After a couple of minutes the wind picks up, swirling leaves, gravel and dirt are making mini tornadoes. Less than 5 minutes later, the temperature drops 20 degrees, YES 20! WTF??? 74 to 52! Listening to the weatherman this morning, you'd think people were going to freeze in their tracks - Day After Tomorrow style. Hey, he was almost right! I had to run to my trunk and get my trench. Later I found out the temp had dropped some more down to 41 but the "feels like" temperature was 20 degrees. Damn it is cold. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
