Trains, Planes and Automobiles are having a tough time tonight in the Midwest and on the East Coast. Nothing is moving except the snow!
My friend in Chicago left work at 2:00 this afternoon in anticipation of ice, cold and snow. She’s packed her laptop and plans to work from home.
My mom, in upstate New York told me today she has stocked up on milk, eggs and bread so she won’t have to travel too far from home in the next few days.
Another friend in Boston called today to tell me she just “Can’t take the gray skies any longer!” Shortly after that call a text came in from Ohio saying “Wishing I was in La Jolla with you, this weather is getting 2 me.”
Who keeps track of all this weather history and when did it all began? In 1849 there were over 150 volunteers who would submit weather findings to the Smithsonian Institution. It’s continued over the years with only brief interruptions for things like… the Civil War. In 1960 the first weather satellite was launched.
You are all making history!
It seems you’ve all had enough of it. So hop on that train, plane or automobile (maybe that last mode of transportation isn’t a good choice these days) and come out to the sunshine.
Shown here are the train, airplane and red car offered on all Letters from Lilly Stationery products.
