ICE STORM 2 - ROUTE 9 BOOGALOO

Thinking out loud, lest there be spacing-off later. I can always go back and read this post myself.

Ugh, that forecast looks nasty. 4-8" for the snow, but it's the half-inch ice garnish that worries me most. The lawn's still full of half-buried sticks and branches from the 12/12 ice storm, Noodle's got an afternoon dance rehearsal which is supposed to end just before the snow-schmutzing begins. And after the ice we don't see 32 for at least week. Joy.

Last storm, the radio station was able to get me put up at a nearby hotel, but I missed the heck out of everybody up north. They in turn missed the heck out of having electricity and heat.

Which reminds me that I have to hook up the generator and get it ready to go.

NEW YEAR, NEW FOLLOWER

Hooray for "char" for stopping by and setting a spell.

Now then, about this snow yesterday. Not enough and too fluffy for proper snowman-making...but when the right day comes along, you want your idea-starters handy.

GETTING SN...NO, WAIT, IT'S WIND

So that means it's single digit windchills. You think that's cold? You have no idea what cold is.

The forecast for Christmas Day in Ojmjakon? Overcast, high 29 below.

Christmas Eve? 63 below.

Wow. Just...wow.
