Last week Hubby said, “We’ve reached glacial status.”
I’m pretty sure I got a titch of whiplash when my head whipped around. “What the hell does that mean?” I know things are frosty between us but I didn’t think it was that bad!
“It means, the snow is hard enough for us to walk on top of it, the weatherman said so this morning.”
So I went right outside to see if I could walk on the snow.
Turns out he’s right. A grown ass woman really can walk on snow.
The funny thing is, the snow has been steadily melting. In fact, we are probably down to between six to eight inches in the yard.
So how does it happen, melting snow is hard enough to hold the weight of fully grown adults at the end of March?
Well I’m not a meteorologist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn a couple of times so I’ll give it my best shot.
The snow seems to be melting from the bottom, because when you are out walking, despite the freezing cold, the water from the melted ice is running down the street. Yet the top snow, the snow exposed to the cold and wind is staying frozen.
And so, it’s March 24th, four days into spring, a week before the 1st of April and we’ve reached glacial status.
Can someone, anyone, send some warmer weather our way?
