(Before It's News)
by Monica Davis
To quote a song: the weather is frightful; yesterday, it was so warm I had to shed my coat. Today there’s a stiff breeze, with little white flakes of something falling from the sky, and it’s quite chilly.
Either ET has dandruff, or it’s sleeting. It doesn’t look as if March is going out like a lamb. Some roads are still flooded, and people still can’t get the message: do not drive through standing water–especially if tthe road dips.
The Ohio River is still at flood stage, or lose to it, in many places. And, let’s not talk about the wind!
It’s chilly in parts of the midwest, and in parts of the Deep South. On the Atlantic seaboard, the government has posted gale warnings.
