Sleet!

More winter weather - and again on a weekend! Not that last weekend was disrupted by the snow. By noon on Saturday the snow was all off the roads; we went running around Memphis Saturday night. It was pretty for a while, though.

This mess, though, may hang out a while. It started early this morning. It is amazing cold. The wind is howling in from the north. The weather - a mix of sleet, snow and freezing rain - is supposed to keep on until Monday, maybe.

But Sonya made a big trip to the grocery store last night. We will cook and eat and have a quiet, ice-bound weekend.

Weird weather, dude. We went out for our anniversary dinner on Thursday night (Tsunami in Cooper Young; the food was good but the service was a bit casual for the prices we were paying) and it was warm and humid - the place had their door open when we got there, and I would have considered a table outside if they had had any set up.
