The past few days have been absolutely GLORIOUS. It's been in the early to mid 30's, with sunny skies and melting snow.
After the past few weeks of snowstorm after snowstorm, interstate closure after insterstate closure, this is AMAZING. I was able to go full-speed on the interstate today (full speed is about 60 for me to save on fuel costs) with no fear of icy patches. They're all gone after the beautiful weekend.
It was just...SO refreshing. The hairy drive every day to work town makes me crazy. I've been leaving the house two hours before I need to be at school just to make sure I get there.
The sunshine and warmth was a little boost that I definitely needed. I've been grumpy and depressed and missing my Minnesota family and friends.
Hopefully the rest of winter will be swift and mild. For my sanity's sake, and the sanity of my students, I hope that Punxatauny Phil was wrong.
