Snow Hurricane....



Now really, newscasters and weather folk, was that necessary?
"HEY!", it is going to snow... a lot, and be well, quite windy". We all would have gotten the message, but you just had to go that one step farther , one degree too much.. and call it a snow hurricane.
Mendon is right at the head of the giant blue phallus coming out of New York City, we are the edge of the 12 to 24 inches of snow. But, watch us Mid-Atlantic, we hearty upstate folk know how to deal with it . I will say that is it very rare for the tv talking heads to get this rilled up over snow, so it is a little bit scary.

Neil got the heck out of Dodge early this a.m. , heading down to D.C. , leaving Koda and I to fend off the wolves and snow creatures.
Hit Wegman's on the way home from the airport for the required jumbo-pot-of-snow-chili. A little busy, nothing really over the top. Pretty sad that I stocked up for the storm and did not buy any beer. Getting old sucks. ( well, that and Koda is not all that much fun to drink with...)
It has been snowing all day long, but the weather folks are saying that this is not even the storm that is going to bury us, this is just some left over snow, a little windy too...
So, we are hunkered down, plenty of firewood and the hand crank flashlight. I'll keep, you the k+b readers up-to-date on Hurricane Bumble, but really, will not be in any way upset if it DOES NOT happen.
