The temp is at least 30 degrees below normal for February, and it's making news. Last night the local TV station weatherman did a lengthy segment explaining what sleet is--complete with film showing what it looks like and how it bounces off the hood of your car. He had a black raincoat on so he could give a live demonstration, but the sleet stopped. Too funny!
But the weather is giving us time to research and plan what we'd like to do. One thing that's high on my list is an excursion on the Biloxi Shrimping Trip tour. You go out for 70 minutes on a shrimp boat and learn all about it. They operate Feb-Nov. and if I can't talk Bud into it, perhaps I can persuade friends Nancy and Cloyd who arrive from NH on Saturday.
Meantime, here's what the water looks like in this weather pattern. See the resemblance to to the Atlantic on a calm day in early spring?
But the good news is that by Saturday the weather will return to more normal...mid 60's. Wahoo!
