Luckily the snow turned to rain here too. ---

I missed work yesterday for the first time in 31 years of working because of the flipping roads. I left home at 7:30 to attempt the trip to Madison, turned around and went back home. A plow didn’t go past our house for the first time until 4:20 p.m. Oh, how I hate winter. Apparently this year is trying to beat our all-time record snowfall that we set last year of 101.4 inches. Grrrr:mad: ---

It was fucking 68 degrees here today! grrrr…I WISH it would snow. This doesn’t feel like Xmas time to me at all because I’m from the north. North Carolina weather depresses me because its too freaking warm. ---

Luckily the snow turned to rain here too. Scratch that…a nor’easter’s coming. Time to crawl and be ready to pull over to let SUVs by. 4 TO 9 INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET ARE EXPECTED IN THE WARNING AREA ALONG WITH SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN IS ALSO EXPECTED TONIGHT… ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE GREEN MOUNTAINS WHERE SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF GREATER THAN ONE HALF INCH ARE POSSIBLE. THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO DOWNED TREE LIMBS AND NUMEROUS POWER OUTAGES ACROSS THESE AREAS. ---

Pickle Lake lost their power for 11 hours. The temp was -40. Looks like winter is arriving. ---

-40? So TBay isn’t Tampa Bay… Thunder Bay maybe? Pickle Lake, any lake… > [@jayjay](#): > > Wait…did the Cubs win the World Series? Apparently, _that_ necessitates an even colder day still. ---
