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. |

Hardly a late fall/winter goes by here without reading about some hapless duck/goose hunter out on Chesapeake Bay in a little skiff, hunting his prey, falling in the water, and dying fast because of hypothermia. That's a big price to pay for a duck dinner. |

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.... We've had enough snow already to cover the grass. Not sticking at the moment to the pavement. Prediction is for four to eight inches in the DC area by day's end. If that happens, it'll be enough, probably, for governmental shutdowns tomorrow. Schools are already closed because of the holiday break. |

We got out yesterday. It was mid 70s. ========= 40's today, blowing like stink. Got a new smoker for Christmas and planning on doing up some chicken and veggies. It'll have to wait till the wind drops about 20 knots! |

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? |
