I'd like to tell you a story about a senator named
Stavos. Every year, this brave senator holds his breath for my annual frost warning light post. It comforts him amid all the stress of kissing babies and paying off hookers to keep their mouth shut. This year, I failed him. My post was delayed due to work demands and eventually lost in the sea of bytes that was my notepad.exe file. This is my attempt to remedy that failure, and bring back some security he so desperately needs during these trying times. So I state to the world that today (posthumously) is the day my frost warning light illuminated! The
long tradition remains intact!
Every year the world holds it's breath, wondering when my frost warning light in my Cougar will illuminate. Well today is that day, and on a positive note, it's the latest it's turned on since I started
keeping track. Whether this means we're in for a mild winter, or if it's another sign of global warming I can't say, but I did exercise caution for possible ice on the road as my manual dictated despite the bright sun and lack of any kind of moisture.
Today my frost warning light came on in my Cougar meaning the temperature was below 42 fahrenheit, and as it indicated the ground was covered in frost. The last time this light came on it kicked off 5 long months of freezing weather. With the
Free Press promising snow this weekend now is a great time to move to Florida with Joseph.
Waking up to 38° this morning and seeing the frost warning light in my car brought back horrible memories of frozen nose hairs and gray slush, but with the first sign of winter showing up at the end of October I couldn't really complain. By 1pm, it was 60° again showing Michigan really has stopped hating me. A company-sponsored game of bowling at 3pm put the final warm fuzzy on the best winter reality day so far. Now I just need Keith to post the temperature in Mississippi to have it all come crashing down on me.
Today my frost warning light came on in my
Cougar meaning the temperature was below 42 fahrenheit. The last time this light came on it kicked off 5 long months of freezing weather. With this spring being the rainiest since 1912 I already feel robbed of my spring/summer and now with the cold weather digging it's claws into Michigan I feel cheated. I just hope it stays above freezing long enough for me to move into my new house. Hopefully a heated garage will help me cope with the depressing winter ahead.
