Presenting a post on a subject near and dear to my heart. The weather! This photo was taken at 11:30 AM on March 8th, 2008. There was nearly 9 inches on the ground in an area where the wind did not disturb the snow too much. It has been snowing all day and I expect there is another 2-3 inches out there now. I will have to make another measurement tomorrow before we dig out, to get a storm total. It is just my luck that we get this on a weekend, so that by Monday the roads will be clear and I will have no excuse to go back to bed. In any case, it has been fun to be snowed in here all day. I have been busy too, I have watched TV. napped, eaten, napped, and watched TV. It has proven to be an inexpensive weekend too, since I had originally planned to buy some books at B+N, and get an oil change. Driving about on the roads is strongly discouraged today, so there was no shopping for me.
I love disruptive weather, even though I am weary of winter and want to break out the grill, it is fascinating to see big weather develop and the consequences on everyday life. I predicted back in February that we would not get a significant snow storm for the rest of the year. I suppose I am done predicting, I blew this one badly.

I measured 16 inches in my courtyard. Fayette County was under a Level 3 Snow Emergency last night, all day today and it is still in effect. My Nephew, Mike, drove from Court House to Greenfield at 9:00 am and said he saw two snowplows off the road and semis that had just stopped on the road unable to move. He had to cut his own path through the snow to get home. I am hoping to get a plow out to cut through my driveway tomorrow and then I can shovel the cars out. I'm snowed in until then. As you know, much like you, I Love This Shit!
