I’m back. The side streets haven’t been plowed yet, but Highway 13 has been. Bank hasn’t been recently plowed, PO hasn’t been plowed, grocery store was getting plowed again as I left. Six inches at least here. Wet stuff. I just shoveled from the deck to the garage and then wandered all around to clear under the bird feeders and top them off. People were out and about, though.
The snow started sometime after 10:00 here, and it’s been coming down steadily. No need to go out, but I might hop in the car and venture on to the city streets to get the mail at the PO and to pick up a few non-necessities at the store. If you don’t see me back on here in an appropriate amount of time, someone give Mr. S a call to form a search party. Actually, none of my travels will take me more than half a mile from the Sandcastle, and I will have on boots, so I can walk home if I get stuck.
Lacknothing has been lacking in posting lately. Would that make her Postnothing now?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LN!
Back in the day… We were a small rural school in the same district as two large suburban high schools. All closed or none closed, even though we were out in the wide open with drifted roads and all, and they weren’t. Well, it was late January 1967 (and if you pay attention next year, they will be talking about the 50th anniversary of this big blizzard in Chicago), and Tuesday had been really warm, and there was no snow on the ground at all. Wednesday was colder, but still OK, and we always walked the few blocks to school. During the day, the snow started and kept falling. By the time we walked home, the snow was at least calf-deep, and of course we had not worn boots that day. Almost two feet of snow fell in that storm, and the winds blew it around. No school Thursday or Friday, but I remember we had the basketball game on Saturday night. I want to say that we didn’t have school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday either, but maybe I’m remembering a different storm. Maybe we got enough new snow after that to have things close down again. Anyway, that was the Big One.
Adams-Friendship is closed.
It sounds like most places are going to get enough snow during the crucial daylight hours to warrant canceling school tomorrow. The only thing would be if some districts are waiting for the storm track to finalize, which it seems to have done pretty much now. Take the snow day. A-F hasn’t called off yet, but everything near us to the west has. Saw a lot earlier that Stevens Point had already cancelled. They’re big.
The weather bulletin is now saying 8-12 inches for us with a glaze of ice. Not the morning for any rodents to be predicting any weather either. Let them sleep in, too.
Live in the 0-2, work tomorrow in the 3-5.
From the maps I’ve seen, Birdin’ will be the big winner.
Not on all, but on a good portion of them. It wasn’t the pics that were the problem; I had them all ready to upload. I tend to be a bit wordy describing our adventures, so I mull things over and don’t sit down to write a a log until I’m in the mood. I have a few left to do, and then we find some more. It’s a good thing we don’t find very many caches.
Just completed a major accomplishment: I am now caught up on all of our logging. For the first time in over four months, since before the fall picnic in September, I have no logs to write. And with the expected blizzard or whatever tomorrow, it might be a while before I have any more to write!
no
A pre-craphas :ftp:
Still no definite numbers, but double-digits is looking likely. If we don’t get that, though, I will be very happy. 😀
Yay! We’ve been upgraded from a watch to a warning! Forget the prognosticatory rodent! Bring on the craphas!
Time to get your VOTE ON! Polls are open a bit early because of the time thingy.
Can’t we just caucus here in the drivel?
