March 1st--My favorite day of the Year!

Today is March 1st, which is usually my favorite day of the year.  This is my favorite day of the year, because of my least favorite time of the year....winter.   Because it seems like we are done with the worst of winter on March 1st, and the end is near, and the worst is behind us.  My Aunt Phyllis (whose birthday is, coincidentally, March 1st), always said her favorite day of the year is April 1st, for the same reason as mine...maybe because she couldn't really say March 1st was her favorite day of the year.

Except for this March 1st.  On this March 1st, we are facing a Winter Weather Advisory, according to Action News here in Philadelphia.  By the way, don't you just love Channel 6...with their Scan Tracker 6 Wide Action Weather Tracker....or something like that...it takes poor Adam Joseph 30 seconds just to say "look at what the radar is showing us."    Today, it started to snow at 11 am, which was really pretty, but then it started to sleet around 2, and now it is turning to ice overnight.     And I am thinking there is some chance that my children may have a two hour delay....

I know last winter was bad, but I actually think this winter may have been worse.  Of course, it wasn't a Boston winter, but here in Philadelphia, February 2015 was the coldest winter in 26 years.  We got some snow, but it was only a few inches, every few days.  We never lost power, like we did last year, but this winter just seems worse.  I saw something the other day that for the last two weeks of February, there were only 32 hours above freezing.   That is cold.   And I don't dislike snow...I dislike the cold.

So, today I got out a dvd a bought a few weeks ago to watch with my kids.  Okay, I didn't remember that one crazy scene with Kelly Preston and Tom Cruise, which was totally inappropriate (we fast forwarded really fast), and there were a few F words I didn't catch, but overall, it was fun.

Anyway, Happy March...it will be better soon.  There will be that one day where you feel something in the air, and you will know that the good weather is on its way.
