We're all watching the weather

We have been paying particularly close attention to the weather forecast this week: My mom and our girls fly to Mexico on Saturday.
Any other time of the year, and the weather would hardly become a factor in that trip. Not this time of the year.
We are experiencing what the "old timers" call a "normal winter," which basically means Dubuque receives 4 inches of snow every three days or so.
This weather makes California-bred drivers sweat. It apparently also piques the interest of our cat Lorelie. She is pictured above, checking on the forecast highs and lows.
