NOW we're gonna pay for it...

 Parent Winter took pity on us the end of last week, providing a warm respite from the many long months that are winter in Wyoming.

No need for winter gear Friday and Saturday as the air, under the warm and blazing sun, reached what felt like 50+ degrees.

Ice and snow melted, leaving dried dead grass peeking through where once only “that white crusted stuff” had been visible lo these past months.  

 Colder weather began to move in last evening. 

This morning, thousands of tiny icy flakes are falling from the sky (although the sun is trying to peek through).

And there is this, from the underground weather:

Much colder. Lows 25 below to 30 below zero. Northeast winds 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow is 70 percent. Wind chill readings 40 below to 50 below zero.

For Pete’s Sake—did I REALLY sign up for this?

My Chicago peeps: I hear you are in for a really BIG one.  Stay safe and warm.

My D.C. peeps: I hope whatever hits the Northeast stays far enough North.

Be warm, be safe and be thankful though if you don’t have wind chill readings of 40 to 50 below—or colder!!
