Perpetual Ruminations

Friday

Friday's about wrapped up and I should be in bed, but I need to get this entry done first. It's been a nice day, warm, and some sunshine -- even though the wind picked up, it was warm enough not to make a big difference. In fact, it helped melt a lot of snow and ice, as well as to dry it up some.

Tomorrow will be pretty nice, too. It's still 27 degrees out, and the wind has died down some. That will change soon enough, though. By tomorrow afternoon the temperature will begin to drop and we will plunge below zero once again. Also, the winds are going to pick up sometime tomorrow, and drop the windchill factor into dangerous temperatures. They are saying by tomorrow evening it will be about 40 below zero windchill.

I haven't checked the weather online yet, but that's the story coming over the radio, so I'm sure it's going to be about the same online. Of course, being South Dakota, it can change dramatically in a few hours. Chances are, however, it will not change for the better, just get here sooner or later.

Now, it's time for me to have a light snack and then hit the sheets. Three o'clock in the morning comes pretty damn early and I'm still trying to get caught up on my sleep.
