Cotton fluffs and fluffy snow
Feb. 24th, 2007 05:55 pmI've described a breakthrough in the puzzling business of spinning cotton on a flyer wheel over here.
We've watched the weather service going up and down with its predictions all day. At about 3:30 am this morning I heard the weather radio alarm go off so I got up to see what the warning was. It was a blizzard warning, but for the next two counties north of us. We had only a winter storm warning. The two counties south of us had an ice storm warning. Oh goody.
Sometime today, they apparently upgraded us to a blizzard warning, and then backed off again. We're on the winter storm warning from 6 pm until 6 am tomorrow. While we were feeding critters, the snow started. It was very abrupt, the way a summer thunderstorm can come on from calm and clear to raging cold wind and driving rain in a matter of minutes. Apparently these storms are similar in their makeup. The wind went instantly from nothing to howling. It's getting dark now so it's harder to see, but the snow is falling pretty hard.
Made some progress on the weaving too. I estimate that I'm around halfway through the full length I wanted to finish, and that's right on schedule. Hopefully I'll get another big chunk done tomorrow.
