Right now, 5:43 PM, we've got a little freezing rain, but the radar
shows lotsa snow coming our way and actually, it looks it is snowing in
LaPlata, MD, south and west of here maybe 30 miles.




I am hoping the weather forecasters up here have it right and enough
warm air is pulled in from the ocean to keep it mostly rain.

I *am not* putting the plow back on the truck !


YOu could actually get in an airplane. Go see Gregg for a few days. or
boat with Wayne. Leave the wife with the pets and snow. ;)


News is reporting most flights along the Eastern Seaboard at least down
to Savannah have been canceled. One of my Connecticut friends got an
early flight this morning out of La Guardia to Savannah, but another's
flight to Ft. Lauderdale was cancelled. Combination of bad weather and
inability to get crews and equipment where needed for scheduled flights.

The trick is getting here without going to Atlanta.

It rained a little a while ago and got a little cooler but I am still
in shorts no shirt walking Ed at around 2345

No golf today. Looks like we got about six inches of snow last night. I'm not sure I even want to
take the dogs out. They like it, but their feet get snow packed quickly.



Doggie booties.


BTW, I just heard some great info on FM 103.5, to wit: "Don't shovel snow. It's too risky when it's
this cold."

OK!!


I don't shovel snow, period. I've lost two close personal nearly
lifelong friends to heart attacks while snow shoveling. One was 59 and
the other was 73, and both were in reasonably good health. Whoever put
the snow there can take it away. If it is really deep, I call a guy who
has a big Ford FWD truck with chains and a plow, and he cleans the
driveway.

Just saw a bit on CNN. Two tractor-trailers on different parts of the
Beltway skidded and flipped over.


I'm planning on building a fire, turning on the Olympics, and making a potfull of 15 Bean soup with
ham for dinner. Maybe I'll make some bacon and cheese cornbread to go with it.


Best plan for a day like this, for sure.

Yup.
That storm is scheduled to hit us late tomorrow afternoon or early evening.
At least it will warm up the air temp drawing all that hot air from the deep South.

Fantastic!
