Just happened to look at the local forecast, since we are expecting a
bit of snow today, and saw this:

"snow with a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon"

Snow during thunderstorms? Snow before thunderstorms?

Snow during thunderstorms is something I don't recall experiencing.

We're predicted for 12 to 16" of snow.

Someone on the Sound, someone is boating. Betcha.


We got out yesterday. It was mid 70s.

Got two holiday calls yesterday from friends, one from an old union
buddy who was down your way, sort of, on or near Sanibel Island, and
rubbing it in about the weather, and another from a classmate of my
wife's, a Kenyan who called from Nairobi, where it was warm and rainy, a
bit warmer than where you are.

We're expecting four to eight inches of snow through today.

Speaking of Kenya, did you catch the excellent NY Times piece on how
personal solar panels and cell phones are changing lives in that
country?

Woudn't you know that the technology is all coming from China?

Solar panels on huts...gotta love it. I loved the bit about improved
grades for the kids because of LED lighting.

Get a current National Geographic and do a little reading.

The manufacture of solar panels is a very dirty business, of course it
moved off shore rather than be hounded by environmentalists and the
various environmental agencies.

Rarely happens, but usually indicates more snow within a couple of
weeks....

We're predicted as much as 3" and we 20 miles north of the SC line and
within sight of the beach. Lake boaters in central NC are looking at
8" of wet snow....

As of now, in spite of all the white stuff falling... it is melting as
quickly as it is hitting the ground... except for wood decks and the
like...

Cold and windy. Probably low 50's in Santa Monica. Driving back from the
other daughter in Long Beach, was raining hard. Really hard. Was surprised
that I saw no accidents on the way back. Daughters Mother in law drove down
from Sacramento area yesterday, and said was foggy in the valley at times.
Try to take the kayak for stripers or trout this week.
