Inclement Weather...

It's not really that thick here in town, but I think it's worse just outside of town.

Schools are closed today, because of "inclement weather" hee hee and my nasturtiums are DEAD because of it too...
I had to put out some Hummingbird nectar for the humming birds too. Their flowers are all frozen, and the poor little guys were trying to drink the NASTY rotten water that I hadn't taken down yet in my feeders. I have two of them already, and they were drinking the nasty stuff, and buzzing at me like I needed to DO something!! So I hurried and made them good sugar water, and got it out. They sat and ate for full minutes. Hungry little guys. I'll be keeping that fresh until there are blooms again now.
Funny thing about the ice and snow.
When they aren't used to it, people seem to get nervous FREAK OUT about it. That's when school's close, and everyone tells EVERYONE not to drive anywhere. Funny too, how those SAME people, who are SO freaked out about the weather tend to NOT CHANGE their driving habits in it!!
People.
It's not BRAIN SURGERY.
When the weather is "inclement" you simply SLOW DOWN.
That's it!
If you don't DRIVE like it's sunny and beautiful, you won't end up in a ditch. I swear. That's the ONLY secret. And not a very well kept one.
Somehow, though, I'm the only one who seems to remember it when the weather gets testy.
Oy Vey.
