Winter's GRIP

The snow last night was definitely surprising. In the end, it wasn't much & it
was mostly gone in the morning, but I don't think anyone expected this much
accumulation this late in the season. Most of us are ready for warmer weather.

Because it's now the middle of March and just a couple of days before the official start of spring, it's weird to have to BUNDLE UP and BRACE OURSELVES for the freezing temperatures whenever we HEAD OUT the door. I love the snow, and I don't mind the cold weather, but it just feels like it should be warmer by now, and it's a bit disturbing that it isn't. I just checked the 10-day forecast, and it doesn't seem like winter is leaving us soon. There's no warm weather IN SIGHT AS OF YET. In fact, there's another round of rain-snow mix ON TAP for next Monday. Does this mean that summer will be cooler than usual? Now, that would be nice. :-)


BUNDLE UP - dress very warmly
BRACE ONESELF - get ready; hold on to something
HEAD OUT - go out
IN SIGHT - in the near future
AS OF YET - so far
ON TAP - scheduled; expected
GRIP - a tight hold
