Hope and Change We All Agree On

I am hoping for a change very soon. The weather this winter has been as brutal as I can ever remember. In Kansas City, we set monthly record low for average monthly temperature, and most days with at least 1" of snow. Snow totals for the year have not been seen since the early 1960's. Until earlier this week, we had not seen a 70 degree day since early November. Last Friday night and Saturday we received almost 10 inches of new snow. I AM READY FOR CHANGE! I HOPE IT COMES SOON! Do you sense a little cabin fever?

And if the local forecasters are correct, that change is on its way. Last Tuesday we reached 70 degrees in the afternoon. I briefly stood in a protected area at the campus, surrounded by piles of snow letting the sun warm my face. It was surreal but very enjoyable after what we have endured this winter. By Wednesday, the warmth had retreated, but more is expected next week. There are signs that our temperatures may hit 80 by mid-week. We just need to make it through the weekend. By the way, the forecast for Sunday is more cold with a slight chance of snow.
