The word “unpleasant” was front and center in my forecast last night. That’s not a standard condition in the forecaster’s lexicon. It seemed to fit then and it’s verifying right now. It is unpleasant!
What was snow overnight has waffled between snow and sleet and rain. Sometimes we’ve gotten two or even all three at once! It’s the chef’s platter of weather.
Helaine flies home from SoCal tonight. She’s due in just before midnight at Bradley Field¹. I anticipate the flight will be fine. The weather will not.
You have no idea how much I miss her. I’m glad she visited Stef. I’m doubly glad she’s coming back. California can be very alluring. Malibu, Westwood, Melrose and Disney in just a few days.
Hopefully she won’t read this entry until she’s back in Hamden. The attached photos might be too much disincentive. She might not get on that plane!
¹ – Allow me to use its old school name from a more genteel era when we could meet friends to the gate and wear shoes everywhere.
Geoff,
My friend in So Cal posted that he woke up to temps in the 40’s!
I am sure Helaine will be thrilled to be home!
Hopefully, she did not see these lovely pics you posted before she left!
Peace
Geoff–your blogs are great to read on days like this when the weather drives us all nuts. Hope Helaine makes it home just fine tonite and please ignore those morons who said not nice things about you in a recent NH register article–You’re the hardest working weather guy there is and we love watching you!!!
Sigh. My daughter bundled up in a heavy jacket with a faux-fur lined hood. Stunningly cold 40 degrees outside today.
We’re certifiable Southern California Weather wimps for sure.
