Warrant for Elsa: Suspect in Snowmageddon

The weather has been so cold in central and eastern Kentucky. I know mid-westerners think we're babies. I get it. But, we are not used to sub freezing temperatures. We are used to a couple months of mild winter weather. We get a couple decent snow falls and winter is over. Hello Spring. But the last few years we've seen longer spans of cold temperatures, and snow storms that paralyze our communities. We aren't generally equipped to deal with harsh winters. Also, I didn't want to bring it up, but we are part of Appalachia, there are mountains and small country roads. It's hard to care for all of these roads and keep them clear. 

That being said, we've had a bit of a tough week in Kentucky. There was about a foot of snow that fell over Sunday night going into Monday morning. And the rest of the week we've had more snow accumulation and today the temperature has hoovered around 5 degrees. It hurts to breathe. This is Kentucky not Colorado. We are gritting our teeth and bearing it...dreaming of sweet, sweet Spring. 

In the meantime, an eastern Kentucky town has been having a bit of fun with the weather. 


I work with kids. I did not need another reason to be annoyed with the Frozen movie. If I hear that song one more time. One more time. I recall walking down the halls of the elementary school where I worked and hearing children belting out "Let it go" as they watched the movie.  Kids dig that movie. Elsa, you're on my list if you've had any hand in this Snowmageddon situation. Because I'm a southern gal, the snow does in fact bother me. I much prefer sunshine, sun dresses, and mint juleps, thank you. 

Until this snow melts and the temperature has 2 digits again, we are gritting our teeth and bearing it. First world problems, huh? Thanks for the laugh Harlan PD.
