Weather


So I remember what I was going to talk about last time: the WEATHER!
Yeah, I know. Thrilling.
But this recently relocated Californian Girl is affected by this weather. I will admit that when my studio apartment didn't heat up after a half hour, I was worried about me and my doggy keeping warm. And when it started snowing, and kept snowing, I kinda freaked out.

My Tuesday night class was canceled, and I haven't had class canceled since I was in elementary school and the Santa Ana winds proved too rough for us Cali kids. I ventured out on Wednesday morning to the UB. I had work, by golly!
A skiddish iceland met me, nothing I had ever encountered before. My boots did nothing to that damn slick ice.
But those icicles on plants and tree limbs, though, that really got me. To see plants encased in clear solid water and to hear ice slam against pavement from a few floors up ... Yeah, you don't see that in Cali.
