Ugh. This is supposed to get here late Thursday/Friday. Local WX says high Fri is supposed to be 2 with a low of 1. I got the snow blower staged and ready to go yesterday when it warmed up a little.
Last year it was so warm about that time, the gnats were swarming when I had company and ended up with a house full of gnats. Took until about mid Jan to get rid of them.
I'm about 120 mi ESE of the southern tip of lake Michigan.
Phinehas just texted me, she says the snow is starting up just east of Chicago. The temp here is 38, I'm gonna quick burn some burgers on my little electric Weber grill before it gets bad here. I wish I would've thought of that earlier, I would've set out one of those steaks I bought last week.
(Edit) I just saw two batches of Canadian geese hauling ass south. They must know sumptin'
The rain/snowline is about 40 mi east of me. The radar looks like we might get black ice before it turns to all snow. Temps here should plummet about 1900EST. Latest forecast is calling for about 5", hard to tell what the wind is gonna do with that. This is gonna suck.
This never happened with Trump in charge.
I was looking for an excuse to visit Ramette at work today before Xmas and WX, but I don't need any more booze and I don't want her to think I'm stalking her, which I guess I technically am.
It used to be called courting or dating or some such nonsense. I'm out of my time. Send me back to the 80s.
(Edit) It's zero dark hundred here. I 'm closing the hangar doors at the secret airbase. I suppose I should poke some chow down my neck.
Indy is right in the middle of it now, not much snow, winds powerful enough to upset a poorly rooted coconut palm. My biggest concern is all the rain from earlier is going to freeze, but I really don't give a shit, I've got enough supplies to last into middle of next week, then the cigs run out.
The rain has turned to snow, but FW WX is showing 33, so the black ice never happened and the ground is still too warm.
...then the cigs run out.
I've got about a week and a half worth and probably 15lbs of tobacco in the bottom of one of my deep-freezers and about 5,000 cigarette tubes and the stuffer for emergencies.
Was up way too early. Been bashing the Bidet and his freakshow for about 14 hours up and down the interwebs. Started drinkin' about noon:thirty.
I can live with that. I might play that for the chicky-poos. Their panties melt over bad boys.
It seems the WX men might have been a wee bit hyperbolic. The radar is showing the trailing edge of "the storm of the century" between Plymouth and Warsaw already (50mi). Unless there's something behind it that I can't see or something developing, this event will end within the hour.
