Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my icicles and iciclettes.  How are you?  Well, we got away with a mild December, but January looks like hell to pay.  Some people say that they get bored living in areas where the weather never changes.  Hmm, boredom or hypothermia?  I don’t care if the weather changes – in fact, I like it.  But it’s the wild swings below zero and above 90 that gall me.  Bitch, bitch, bitch – what else can you do?

Our venerate Green Bay Packers face the Dallas Cowboys in icy Lambeau Field on this Sunday, January 11, at noon.  The Fox Network will cover the ignominious defeat of the Cowboys.  Let’s have another Snow Bowl.

I know that Junior was hoping it wouldn’t snow here because he has to shovel it.  Sorry, Junior.  Maybe next year we’ll get a snow thrower.  Right now, money is tight and the kid eats like a horse.  If I have to feed him, then I want some horsepower from him.  “And don’t ‘forget’ to do the driveway again.”

I simply loathe this weather.  Today is supposed to be dangerously cold.  I’m sure we’ll hear that phrase, “dangerously cold,” a few more times this winter.  Or “life threatening.”  If you must go out, layer up.  Leave yourself a little more time.  Drive vigilantly.  There are plenty of hazards out there and anything that leads to skin exposure, could lead to frostbite, and even death. And please SLOW DOWN.  I’ve had a few ignoramuses tailgating me by inches on icy roads.  I’ve often wished I had some sort of texting mechanism in the car that would display what I say on the back of the car.  Or, maybe that’s not such a good idea.  It would definitely lead to more road rage and grammar Nazis.

Sorry, gang, but my brain must be freezing.  I’m going to crawl back under the covers.  Thank you for reading my blog this week.  We are family.


I love you all,
Madame Zoltar®
