Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

Well, it's snowing. Boy is it snowing. At present it's accumulating about an inch each hour. Seems that a "snow advisory" is actually more powerful than a "winter storm warning" since this time we are getting the snow and with the warning we got almost nothing. Looking at the radar, they must really be getting buried down in Kentucky and Tennessee, unless it's warm enough to be rain there. Of course there would have to be a staff breakfast tomorrow morning at 8, but if I can't get out of my driveway, I can't. ;p

Mostly this morning I just pulled "new" books off the browsing shelves. We put books that we think will be of great interest onto a special set of shelves for the first six months before sending them to the regular stacks. That means once a month I remove the oldest ones, alter their location in the catalog and send them to be reshelved. There are a huge number this month, which seems to suggest that we added an excessive number last July. I don't remember doing that in particular, but the evidence is pretty strong now.

Came home at one and it was already starting to snow. The sheep were out in their yard wearing little snowcaps on their heads and backs, so I let them into the barn. Some of them actually shook like dogs to get the snow off, something I hadn't seen them do before. Gary cut his trip into Chicago short so as not to be stranded there, where they may get ten or twelve inches of snow before it's over (at least if the forecast proves correct) so he is home tonight. He helped me finish up putting everyone to bed for the night and then I made eggplant parmesan for supper.

I'm gonna try to get some writing done before I fall asleep.

The weathermen, were they ever supposed to be right?

It may be by sheer luck, but they do get it right once in a while.

Not really. The astrologer and the alchemist were invented to make the weatherman look good, and conversely the weathermen were created to make economics look like an exact science. Economics, in turn, exists solely as a similiar diversion on part of historians.

We got massive rain and car-shoving winds... Send the snow this way!

I lack sufficient power and energy to do that. We got six inches. Chicago got almost a foot and may get up to four inches more this morning as it is still snowing hard there. The storm moved very slowly and had time to dump a lot of stuff. From what I saw on the radars, Kentucky, Tennessee, Southern Indiana, and Ohio are really getting hit hard. New York and New England to follow...

*earwiggles* Everyone gets snow, except for me... unfair. :P In fact, it's warm enough here for me to go out wearing nothing but a t-shirt and a windbreaker jacket (well... and jeans, underwear and shoes as well, of course).

It's actually not uncomfortable here, temperature wise, but that may be because we just came out of a series of really cold days and nights. Hovering just below freezing now and expecting to be above by tomorrow, so this will all melt into icy slush. Monday we may get thunderstorms, which is really weird stuff for this early in the year.

*noddles* Mmmm. Well, OK, icy slush and thunderstorms are two things I can do without. :) Not that thunderstorms at least can't be nice, but without the proper atmosphere to enjoy them (someone to cuddle up to, hot chocolate, maybe an open fireplace or so)...

All we get here is rain and wind. :P

It snows in Tennesse?? I love the image of the sheep coming into the barn, very cute.

It can snow all the way down to Alabama sometimes, though nowhere near as often as it does up here.
