The Coffee House

[SquarePeg1]

Surprise surprise my package just arrived. I didn’t think I’d see it until after the storm! I had spent my new gear budget by the middle of January and thought I was going to have to be good the rest of the year but then I sold the Nikon 105 and found a bargain on a used Fuji 90 f/2. The Facebook buy/sell groups are definitely worth a look if anyone is shopping for used gear.

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.

When we get a day off from school, we would go surfing.

Hey hosers.

Guess who had to drive to work today?

Some of that N'oreastener is blowing over this a way. A couple days ago we had rain, real rain, enough to overflow Gary's rain barrels. Rain and snow is forecast again for next week. We can use some rain, but it was supposed to come in Winter. Gary is getting eaten up by all the pollens. Gary doesn't sleep well and the pollen are making it impossible.

4 hours and 4 minutes under a half today.
That makes the 6 hours and 4 minutes yesterday useful. Just had biscuits and sausage and gravy at the deli. Going to talk to Trish about my box of pennies and a few other things. Hit the PO Box and the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.

Oh and it's a chamber of commerce type of day out there. White puffy clouds and upper 50s and low humidity.

I doubt Surfer Gary and his totally rad friends got many snow days.

You're kidding? They have pretty much closed MA for the day today. Not much is open, not even Dunkin Donuts! Only plows on the roads and lots of trees and power lines down. We're holding steady here but it is getting close to white out conditions.

Alfred E. Neuman?

Actually, my oldest daughter took surfing as a class at her high school.

Gary hopes you have plenty of bread, eggs, milk and vodka to get through the storm.

That's cool. Must let us know what you think of it.

eek! How long will it be before they tell everyone to make a run for it?

This one is supposed to be a real snow-maker, without the crazy high winds (according to national reports I saw). Fingers crossed that no one loses power, and vodka and Girl Scout cookies make it a better event.

Vodka and Girl Scout cookies make every event better.

Well, to be honest, I was kinda bitching about it in the morning, but even though the snow was sticking to everything (and I mean everything - it was even partially covering the bulbs on traffic lights!), it wasn't really sticking too much on the roads. It was hovering right around 32F (now it's warmer - around 35F or so) and it was snowing steadily but not that hard. Really small flakes. This meant that all the salt they have been dumping on the roads keeps them essentially wet with only some slushy parts here and there. So the drive in was really not a big deal.

And it's not even snowing anymore. Not for real. We've got a few intermittent spats left, but basically I think we're done with it here.

This one just didn't hit us the way the last two did. Of course, there seems to be one in the works for next week, so there's still the potential for another snow day for me

Me. MLW took the week off to recover from the time change.
