We are right inside the red dotted line, just north of Boston. Expecting 12-18". School is already canceled for tomorrow for most of the area including Boston.

Well... if it's any consolation, it's down to 63 and it's a bit overcast now...

62 in our little town going down to 43 at 4am and back up to 60 something by afternoon. And only 40% humidity.
It's a lot like heaven!

Good news here ... Mary Lou discovered a Praying Mantis egg pod which is hatching.

The Mantis are about 1/16th of an inch or so in length.

Hey Hosers. It's a balmy cold as tits here right now in Appleton. Should be warming up this week. Yay! Spring for real!


The GX680 came. If you haven't seen, it came in broken. I managed to fix it and get it operational, but I shouldn't have had to in the first place... wasn't packaged overly well and USPS is OH SO careful with stuff...

Bummer that my package that was due by 8pm today did not arrive. I was hoping to get it before the storm. Now I probably won’t see it until Thursday at the earliest.

Some of you might have to reverse those numbers. 34 or 36. Normal temps around here.

It has begun.

It has begun.

Indeed. The NWS bumped up their amounts for us this morning. We are also just on the edge of the 12-18 inch zone. Usually, I love a big snow storm. But it’s March, and we’ve missed 6 days of school already. If we’re out again tomorrow, which forecasts like this typically lead to, that’ll be 7. Ugh.

Not sure if I mentioned this before... our city now has “blizzard packs “ that the kids are required to do during a snow day so they will not have to add any additional days to the end of the year.

You did...it doesn’t look like the CT State DOE would allow something like that. MA has some pretty stringent requirements for it, too. I checked out the DOE page for it.

I’d love it if we didn’t cancel school for borderline forecasts. We have a wind day, three snow days, a rain day, and a cloud day. We easily could have attended school on the rain and cloud days, haha. And the wind day? Well, my school is the only one in the district without a full back-up generator for power outages.

 

[waday]

We got about an inch of snow, none of which stuck to the roads. Woohoo!

I'm ready for winter, and this week, to be over!
