Yesterday here at our home in Elk River, Minnesota the temperature hit 52F. We were outside taking down the Christmas lights, cleaning up the yard, took a walk around the neighborhood with our dog and in general just enjoyed the warmest day of the year here. Today, it’s a different story. The temperature is right around 32F and we are in a winter storm warning area. The weatherman is forecasting 3-7″ of snow today and tonight.

When my wife and I were listening to the weather forecast last night I commented that I had just washed my Jeep and got it cleaned up on Friday. She reminded me that I did not need to go anywhere if I didn’t want to. I almost forgot that my commute to work now is just within our home. I have my home office in one of our 5 bedrooms on the lower level. So, I really don’t need to drive the Jeep out in the mess today if I don’t want to. (Well, if it gets really deep I might go have some fun 4 wheeling in it and wash it later in the week when the temperature hits 50F again.)
