The long anticipated snowfall came, starting about 3pm yesterday. The way the local news was hyping it, you would think that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were riding in on this low pressure system rather than Gulf moisture. We probably got about a foot of snow all told. There was rain, freezing rain, grapple (at least that's what the weather geeks were calling it) snow, and wind. Nice little storm. Pictures will be posted.
The Other (Younger) Half said Friday night, "I bet you a dollar it doesn't snow." Exact words. At that point it was freezing rain with no snow in sight. I told her that if she really believed that it wouldn't snow, she should make the bet worthwhile. She upped it to 2 dollars. That woman really lives on the edge. Well she lost the bet, big time. She's already trying to weasel out of it by claiming that she never said it wouldn't snow. Don't believe a word of it, I've got a mind like a steel trap.
The snowblower did start, so I probably saved the family from a couple of heart attacks. Saved the neighbors too. I'm a regular philanthrope. Now that the thing is put away, it started snowing again. Ah well, more opportunity to prove what a great humanitarian I am.
Went out this morning at 9am for the Twin City Bicycling Club ride. It was cancelled because I was the only one who showed. Actually, when I got there, the ride leader Paul H, who had already shown up, had just gotten off the phone with his granddaughter. He arranged to go out to breakfast with her. He figured no one else was stupid enough to come, so he had the morning off. I guess he doesn't know stupid. I'm going back for the 1pm ride.
