FREEZING IN NEW ORLEANS!
I really don't know what happened to global warming. It's freezing cold again here in New Orleans. Tonight's Mardi Gras parades have been called off and school is canceled on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, as people are hunkering down for sleet and an estimated six inches of snow.
This is the longest running winter cold that I can remember since moving here too many winters ago. I used to pray for cold weather...for Thanksgiving and Christmas, New Years and any other winter day. Now it seems like we're never going to thaw out. Go figure!
Rising heating costs are creating a hardship for families, but I can't imagine how hard the freeze is on homeless families who don't know where to turn.
Mother nature is certainly in charge and she is absolutely letting us know it.
The way I figure it-This is her last winter hurrah before she switches gears on us, simmering down and sending a sizzling dose of heat and humidity that will send us running indoors for to freezing air conditioning. Go figure!
Of course, they said Hell would freeze over before the Saint's won a Super Bowl.
So just maybe...they were right.
