Welcome to Marcy’s whine and cheese party.

Let’s talk about crappy weather for a minute, shall we? Although I’m not going to moan about two consecutive days of mostly nonstop rain (we need every inch we can get), I am going to voice a complaint about FREEZING TEMPERATURES, ICE AND SNOW because it’s not even officially winter and this isn’t supposed to happen yet. (If anybody important is reading this I hope you’re taking notes.) The map below shows you what’s going on here.

The red star off to the right indicates Howdygram headquarters in Mesquite. We’ve got heavy rain right now, but the pink and blue crapola — a huge area representing ICE and SNOW — is moving east at a fairly speedy clip and the rain apparently will turn to snow here by 7 a.m. Personally, I wouldn’t mind if Weather.com got it wrong this time. I’m not ready for snow and I don’t care who knows it.

I think I’ll go back to bed now and annoy Sam. Thank you for reading this.
