Can't you get some of your HR stooges to do it?
I don't think I want hot, yet bitchy, women mowing my lawn.  The first part seems like it'd make the spectacle awesome, but the second more than cancels out the first.

You have a point.

A good lawn boy is like a good scotch. Harder to find than one would believe.

My first lawn boy was great, actually.  But now he's a Sheriff's Deputy.  Deputy Enos, pretty much. :(

It's almost like we are having a real storm here. Right now it kinda looks like a wall of water falling.

Actually just saw we're under a flash flood warning.

We've been threatened with rain for days - DAYS - and barely a sprinkle. :(
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I'm trying to decide about going into the office as though it is easy to get in, I've no desire to be wet for 8 hours.

Well no longer sounds like a faucet outside so may try and head out once our flash flood warning is over. :)

It's supposed to be 80 here today. Earlier this week my building had the heat on. :hmm:

Yup, turned on the A/C last night.  This is annoying.  Doomidity has officially arrived.

It got up to 68 degrees here yesterday.  Last night it was 50.

This is the time of year Laramie is great - no students, never hot, long days.

Special Weather Statement in effect



EXTREMELY UNUSUAL LATE-SEASON SNOWFALL POSSIBLE FRIDAY EVENING  THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING

CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT A VERY LATE-SEASON SURGE OF COLD AIR  WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA ON FRIDAY. THE COLD AIR WILL INTERACT  WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA CAUSING  RAIN TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW FRIDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING FROM THE  WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA TO ANCHORAGE AND THE MAT-SU.  THERE ARE QUITE A FEW UNCERTAINTIES WITH THIS STORM

INCLUDING THE  ARRIVAL TIME OF THE COLD AIR AND HOW INTENSE THE PRECIPITATION WILL  BE. THE INTENSITY OF SNOWFALL WILL BE THE KEY TO WHETHER SNOW  IS ABLE TO STICK TO THE GROUND AND ACCUMULATE.  CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD OF ACCUMULATING  SNOW WILL BE FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. IT IS  TOO SOON TO FORECAST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS

BUT WE CAN SAY THAT THE  HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF ANCHORAGE AND THE MAT-SU (INCLUDING THE  ANCHORAGE HILLSIDE) HAVE THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING  SNOW. GRASSY AREAS WILL BE THE FIRST TO SEE SNOW BEGIN TO  ACCUMULATE

WITH PAVED SURFACES TAKING THE LONGEST TO COOL DOWN  ENOUGH FOR SNOW TO STICK.  THERE ARE ONLY TWO INSTANCES IN THE RECORD BOOKS WHERE MEASURABLE  SNOWFALL WAS RECORDED IN ANCHORAGE (AT THE OFFICIAL CLIMATE STATION)  DURING THE 2ND HALF OF MAY. THESE OCCURRED ON MAY 17 1989 AND MAY  22 1964. BOTH OF THESE STORMS DEPOSITED 0.2 INCHES OF SNOWFALL.  THE UPCOMING STORM HAS A GOOD CHANCE OF PRODUCING THE LARGEST  SNOWFALL IN THE 2ND HALF OF MAY SINCE RECORDS BEGAN IN 1917.  ADDITIONALLY

IF ANY MEASURABLE SNOWFALL AT ALL OCCURS THIS WEEKEND  IT WOULD MAKE THE 2012-2013 SNOW SEASON THE LONGEST SINCE RECORDS  BEGAN. THE SNOW SEASON IS DEFINED AS THE NUMBER OF DAYS BETWEEN THE  FIRST AND LAST MEASURABLE SNOWFALLS OF THE SEASON. THE CURRENT RECORD  IS HELD BY THE 1981-1982 SNOW SEASON WHERE 230 DAYS ELAPSED BETWEEN  THE FIRST AND LAST SNOWFALL.
AS MENTIONED EARLIER THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY  WITH THE DETAILS OF THE APPROACHING STORM. OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS SHOULD  PREPARE FOR THE LATE SEASON COLD AND SNOW BEFORE HEADING OUT. PLEASE  STAY TUNED TO THE LATEST NATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTS FOR THE MOST  UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS UNUSUAL LATE SEASON EVENT.
