I checked the weather forecast last night before going to bed. Cold,
but no storms or snow on the horizon.

Got up this morning and now a blizzard warning has been issued for
Monday-Tuesday with 18" to 24" of wind driven, blowing snow forecast.

What happened overnight?

This really sucks. Fri-Sat we had a small storm that put about 4 inches
of snow on the ground/driveway and then changed to rain which
saturated the snow. I plowed it but then last night it changed back
to wet snow and froze solid. Solid ice and it's a long
driveway.

Hoping it warms up enough today to scrape it all off with the truck plow
or the tractor before this next blast of snow arrives Mon-Tues.

You could always stay indoors. If we have a heavy snow, I just call the
plow guy and not worry about getting out and about until after he gets to
us.

We used to have the driveway plowed by a contractor but he'd typically
show up four or five hours after the snow had stopped. Since I had the
F-250 that has the "plow" package, I decided to get a plow for it.
That was several years ago and I am sure I haven't come close to
recovering the cost of the plow versus paying to have it plowed but at
least we can get out on our timetable, not the contractor's. Shoveling
or even snow blowing isn't really an option. Total length of driveway
that has to be cleared is over 1000 feet and it's a wide driveway.

The "Clipper"?

Yeah it is freezing here too. I put a shirt on to walk Ed this
morning. Must be in the 60s. Brrrr!

Still getting out in the boat this afternoon (mid 70s)



Smart ass.

The Weather Channel is really starting to hype this storm. They are now
saying it will likely be one of the top 5 snow storms to hit this
area since records started being kept. My location (40 south of Boston
on the coast) is the current bull's eye for snow. Some forecasters are
predicting 30 inches or more with winds gusting around 60-70 mph.

We need rain. Yesterday we took a nice bike ride. Cool breeze, but 70 in
the sun. High fog today. Friends in a Catch and Release sturgeon derby
yesterday Said thick fog on the water until 1 pm. Funeral mass for a
friend so did not enter. Interesting funeral mass. Lady will not be buried
for a couple years, as she is being studied by Stanford as she died of a
rare type e brain tumor. But the ceremony was combined Catholic and
American Indian. First the Catholic mass and then an Indian drum ceremony.

Snownado!

Today news is saying snow measured in feet and hurricane strength winds. Here they're talking
several inches. Looks like golf will be out of the picture for a few days.

It is just over 70 and we are going for it. (boat ride)
See you all later.

Ride safe. Keep the rubber side down. Oh...never mind.

Just helped a friend and neighbor bring his boat back from South Seas
Resort on Captiva Island. Beautiful sunny day on the water and not
that many people out because of the 70 degree chill this morning.
