"Winter is Over!" I declared...

I declared winter over and my training to have officially begun. I meant it! It's 46 and sunny right now. I wore running shorts yesterday. Winter is over!!!

I just would look less silly if I had checked the weather forecast. There is a winter storm coming tonight. Here's the latest from the National Weather Service:

A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO MIDNIGHT CDT SUNDAY NIGHT. A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WILL CHANGE TO ALL SNOW AND BECOME HEAVY THIS EVENING. PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 12 INCHES...WITH GREATER AMOUNTS IN PARTS OF THE IRON RANGE AND ARROWHEAD ARE EXPECTED BY MIDNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BE A HEAVY WET SNOW WITH A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO TREES...LIMBS...AND POWER LINES.

Sometimes I hate living here.
