lookit this lookit this!
I'm trying not to get my hopes up here, folks. If I have to freeze my ankles riding my bike in the wet cold and don't even get to see some wintry mix for my suffering, it'll be a sad Thursday. Plus this might be one of those jokes like when the guy on NPR in the morning said there was a 100% chance of rain and it was sunny and HOT all day. I'm not entirely sure that the phrase "wintry mix" means the same thing in Georgia that it means in normal places where people know what winter is. But, still! Wintry mix! Maybe they'll panic and shut the whole university down and I can go outside and play all day. In the wintry mix. Woo!

Climatology seems to be a fun thing to study nowadays. Winter heat waves in Europe, state of emergency in the south of the US.. What else next years??

Today was 41 degrees Celsius where I live, and it's still 30 degrees at half past midnight... enjoy the wintry mix for me!

My recollection of GA weather is "wintry mix" equals possibility of a few snowflakes that will melt before hitting the ground. Also, the milk and bread will sell out at Kroger.

I am hoping that wintery mix comes up here to MD...

This morning, as my car slid gently backwards off the road and into a ditch, I thought to myself, "Oh. This is what they meant."

You want ICE. snow might not close things down, but icy roads will DEFINITELY do the trick.
I so want a day off too.

Um, yeah. I'm betting they'll panic.

"Wintry Mix" sounds like something Rachel Ray would whip up in the kitchen.

Wintry mix sounds like a blend of coffee, or some sort of snack served at Solstice parties. It's too pleasant to represent actual sinister snowfall, icy roads and white outs.
Please, let us know how it works out.

So, it's Thursday -- any Wintry Mix yet?

Did you get any snow?
Up in New England we got our first, tiny bit of snow. What a wimpy winter.
