Snow Miser's Entre

Yes, a snow/ice/slush/yuck storm is on its way into Dee Cee today and judging by the forecast, I'd say that every damn school system in the region will be shut down tomorrow. (You should have seen the Missus' eyes light up at the thought of a snow day when I mentioned it this morning.)

But what really got me is what's coming after:

Saturday - Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 30s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
Saturday Night- Mostly clear. Lows around 20.

Sunday - Mostly sunny. Highs in the lower 30s.

Sunday Night - Mostly clear. Cold with lows around 10 above.

Monday - Mostly cloudy. Highs in the upper 20s.

Monday Night - Partly cloudy. Cold with lows 10 to 15.

Tuesday - Mostly sunny. Highs in the lower 20s.

Tuesday Night - Mostly clear. Cold with lows 5 to 10 above.

Wednesday - Sunny. Highs in the mid 20s.

Go ahead and ask me if I'm looking forward to the 3/4 mile walk back and forth between the metro and my office next week. And AlGore can kiss my frozen Llama backside.

On the other hand, this might be just the cold snap necessary to kill off the gladiolas I didn't bother to dig up this fall but don't really like very much.

UPDATE: Because I can -

Also, I have read that a long spell of frozen ground controls the various bug larvae that winter over underground. Have you read the same?
