Squish Squash

What a turnaround this weather has taken. Subzero temps last week and didn't even need a jacket today. Given the thaw, I decided to take a break from wintry jokes. It certainly didn't feel like winter this afternoon.

This dino looks like he loves to make jam.

Splat!

After struggling with yesterday's doodle, I kept things much simpler today.

We've only got traces of snow left in shady patches here. Yesterday's warm up cleared most signs of winter out of here. I'm sure there will be more snowballs to come before Spring arrives, but these two will have to tide the boy over until we get more snow.

So Slick

We got out of school early yesterday due to an ice storm. We're going in two hours late to give it time to thaw. I thought today's joke was extremely relevant given our current weather conditions.

I learned something about myself this morning. I cannot draw trucks. This is my second attempt. The first has already found a new home in the kitchen trash. This may be the last automotive joke you see here. Things with tires are hard to draw.

Another Snowman

I didn't realize I've done two snowman jokes in a row until I looked at my picture history. I guess I've got them on my mind since we still haven't gotten enough snow this winter to build one.

It's another chilly day here, but Friday's forecasted high is 65 degrees. It's going to feel like an early summer after all of these single digit temps.

Bombogenesis

My little weather nut got to learn a new term this week: Bombogenesis. While he's excited, we've dipped into temperatures below zero. We had a snow day yesterday, even though we barely got a dusting of snow. I think it was just too cold for anyone to want to come in. We've got a two hour delay today and are sitting at a balmy -3 degrees when you factor in the wind chill. It's only  8 degrees regardless. So, Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

We didn't get enough snow to build a snowman, so I gave one to the boy in his lunch today.

Stay warm!

Whatever Floats Your Boat

I realized after drawing today's doodle that there is a very real chance the boy won't get it. I'm not sure he knows what a leek is.

Also, he's going to tell me this looks like celery. I can feel it.

Wop Bop a Loo Bop

Guys. It's cold outside. Like single digits cold. I know there are many colder places than this, but we usually don't dip down this low. Think we'll be driving to school today even though it's only a ten minute walk from our house.

After the shortest holiday week ever, we're going back to school today, which means you get new doodles. I figured we should start 2018 out with a bang. Well, more of a toot.

Happy New Year!
