Had a productive morning, and it's still an hour before noon! (Well, half an hour, but it was a whole one when I started writing this ( Read more... )

About two-thirds of Wisconsin is shut down due to a blizzard warning. 6 inches and counting here, and were only on the edge of the heavy snow. Governor declared a state of emergency ( Read more... )

Last night's dream involved werewolves and vampires and rose thorns embedded in my palm. If I believed in the messages and precognition of dreams, I'd be rather worried right now ( Read more... )

I've been awake since 3ish (computer updating woke me up again. One of these days, I'll just learn to shut the damned thing down on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights), been up since 5:15ish, helped Haley rediscover our driveway as it was buried under 18 inches of snow and she was supposed to be at work by 6. That didn't happen - our road still hasn't ( Read more... )

icepixie has been systematically working her way through all of the Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movies out there for the last month or two, and recently she decided to make a fantastic fan vid of the two of them. It is very awesome and if you like dancing at all, you all should go watch ( Read more... )

Or at least I would have, had I not tripped down the stairs and end up twisting my ankle rather badly. Then of course I had to gimp halfway across campus to the Student Health Services, only to be ( Read more... )

Got another winter storm. This one deposited about 5 inches of wet, packy snow. Now I want to make a snow man.

Also, it is weird that it is 6:30 and still daylight outside. Darned Daylight Savings Time.

Huge massive snow storm only dumped us under about 4-5 inches of snow because it was moving so fast (one of the meteorology blogs I read occasionally said it was "moving at warp speed", which amused me), so that was a lot nicer than the 6-10 they were predicting.

There is a big white, pink and green (with bits of yellow and red) mass coming toward us. Map. The various weather websites and programs I use agree in that the predicted snow fall will range in the 7-10 inches. Also, according to radar, it looks like our area in particular gets an additional treat of freezing rain or a wintry mix before all the ( Read more... )
