A Pot-Hole Epidemic & "Frizzles"

What you experience in Nebraska...



Last night the Mayor of Lincoln, NE had a press conference announcing that we are having a Pot-Hole Epidemic. What?! An epidemic...seriously?...yes we are having major pot hole problems from all of the petrified snow from last year that is SLOWLY melting and then freezing the next morning, but to call it an epidemic...I think its a bit much. The Mayor even announced that there is a "Pot-Hole Hotline" and then if thats busy to call the Neighborhood Hotline. It just made me laugh.



Then I laughed some more...



Because the local weatherman started talking about "Frizzle". Any guesses as to what that may mean? Living in Utah all of my life I didn't really think that there was anything besides snow, sleet, hale, and rain. But there is "Frizzle", freezing drizzle, and i'm not sure exactly what he is referring to. The weird itty bitty balls of snow that they call snow (NOT SNOW) or the mist you feel on your face and neck, but can't see. Like when you are at a theme park and they have those misters to cool you off, just not as much.



Anyway, thought you might get a kick out the exciting things that are happening here in Nebraska.



And I'm sorry I took a long break from this Blog, really I haven't done much for this Blog.  Who knew I'd be just as busy and exhausted as my hard working Hubby who is in his 1st year of Law School.
I will be back on top of things soon though.
