Re-entry into the hallowed halls of learning has been delayed due to more snow. Seriously, what is up with this winter? CRAZY! At least the latest 6″ dump is supposed to melt off quickly and not cause the havoc the December snow storms did.
My favorite local weather blog tells me that yesterday was the climatologically [...]

The socks are done! No formal FO blog post/picture yet as it has been very grey and good pictures are hard to come by.
The Deep in the Forest mittens are started (I’m at the first braid, again). No picture yet as it has been very grey and good pictures are hard to come by.
I need [...]

To keep with the Festivus tradition, the annual airing of greivances…
1) To whomever has control of the snow machine: UNCLE! Please consider taking a break and turning off the machine. I’m not sure I can handle what is forecast to come at us tonight, tomorrow morning and again on Christmas. I do not recall dreaming [...]

Yeah. I’m done. Take it away. Was pretty. I’m over that.
I was done in last night when the tree branches started crashing around the house and the car. Not pretty. Currently we have three branches connecting the house’s power lines with the ground. Power company has us down as an “emergency situation” but we haven’t [...]

Thankfully we survived last night’s “storm”. I was really worried about the winds. As far as I know, we didn’t see strong winds here at all. Other places had gusts clock in (unofficially) at 100mph! At least that is what they were saying on the late news last night. I haven’t heard a more current [...]

This time it sounds like it might get nasty. While the snow totals here are predicted to be anywhere from 4 to 24 inches within our county, it isn’t the snow that worries me. It is the strong winds that will accompany it. The region is expecting sustained winds 40-60 mph with gusts up to [...]

Apparently winter broke all around us. And forced the girls to start their winter break two days early. The predicted “trace” amounts of snow turned into a good 6 inches. I’m debating today about heading out to the grocery store. Normally, 6 inches of snow wouldn’t have bothered me. But here? They don’t have enough [...]

And it’s still snowing. Sandy enjoyed a little early morning romp in the white stuff.

Schools are closed. Kids are home. Kids have been awake since 6am when they heard Jack whisper “snow day”. Needless to say they bolted out fo bed so they could enjoy every minute of their snow day. Currently, the forecast says [...]
