We had a good run

I never really expect winter to hang around too long here in Wichita. This year, it was late and stuck around for a day and a half. It snowed for about thirty six hours off and on and left close to two inches on the ground. I was so happy for those two inches, it was everything you could hope for. Just enough snow to make it feel like winter and just enough snow to make people down here freak out about it.

The temperature really dipped this past week. I went to work several times this week and it was in the single digits (not including wind chill). One thing I always enjoy about winter weather is bundling up. Keeping warm any way possible. There is still snow on the ground, but the temperature rose into the twenties yesterday and the day before and it has started to melt. The grass is starting to poke through and you can expect nothing less with such a small amount of snow.

So, it was a good run of winter weather and temperature for about five days, but now the temperature gauge is rising a little at a time. The teens to the twenties and close to the thirties. A few more days and the only traces of any kind of winter we had will be in parking lots in the forms of snow piles.
