Weather WTF

[Tonitrus]

Looking at the weather right now, the snow has pretty much stopped, and the roads just look pretty wet.

I imagine that tomorrow, when the expected hard freeze sets in, everything will be open again but road conditions will be far worse.

The National Weather Service called it: no snow for Christmas this year.

Several days ago, NYC wasn't getting any snow today. Then Monday morning they said less than an inch. Last night they said 1-3 inches. It snowed off and on today but large, wet flakes. Nothing ever stuck.

It is starting to warm up.  I have survived the bitter cold (-6C  ) of the Winter of 13.

Oh snap, look the fuck out.  I hope to Christ we have enough bread, eggs, milk and toile OH FUCK

I don't totally get why the winter storm food staples are what they are.  Is everybody planning on making French toast for two weeks?

I went out last Friday after the pre-storm rush to pick up some beer and some stuff for the wife to bake for a party the next day.  Apparently there was a run on flour.  All of the white all-purpose flour was gone except for the super-premium overpriced stuff.

I'm already sick of this shit.

Tommy & I had a blast sledding/tubing in my yard Saturday.  And Sunday evening.  And yesterday.

Too funny; like somehow we're going to suddenly go all Little House on the Prairie for 48 hours, baking bread and churning our own butter and whatnot.

5 kids vs me with a cold and the cough from hell means I get the shit pounded out me in a snowball ambush.

Plus I miss Drut hiding in the snow running ambush drills on the kids.

We've had thick fog all day that only finally lifted when it got dark (to be replaced by frost, presumably). It shut down all the airports in the south-east.

Did something happen to Drut?

Drut's 10-7, no phone, man.

He was buried with full honors.

I'm going to try to keep track of that the next few snow panics-- I'm seriously baffled by it.

You could get your choice of whatever specialized flour you wanted-- whole wheat, bread flour, etc.  Standard all-purpose flour was cleaned out.  In fact, I think I got one of the last two or three packs of the overpriced stuff.

You may have seen me go all emo in the Dog thread, so I know what it's like.

I had to go pick up Roscoe's ashes on Monday.  He's sitting on a bookshelf at the moment until we figure out where to scatter his remains.
