I just got home from working the conecessions stand for a Girl's basketball game at CPS high school, while Alec played for the Pep Band. A week ago, we were in the snow storm of the season, with 18 inches of snow deposited in our front yard, with strong winds and drifts that made it difficult to walk to the mailbox. This morning, school was postponed 2 hours, because of the thick fog in our area. Today, the temperature was in the low 60's and it rained most of the day. Everything from last week is a memory or exists only as a puddle in our front yard. We are currently under a "tornado watch" status, to which Katie came out from her room, asking me to check the weather on the inter net. Yup, we are still under a tornado watch. We now have thunder crashing all around the house, as well as very close lightning stikes. Enough to shake the fillings out of your teeth. They say in Michigan, if you don't like the weather, wait twenty minutes. It's true. The lightning strikes and thunder are already fading into the distance and I can only hear the rain against the windows, now. It's time to go to bed now. Flood warnings are in effect until 0700 hours tomorrow.
