I'm Only the Trombone Player

Snowmageddon - Part Two

Welp, we're gearing up for another major snowstorm/blizzard. Yet another stormed deemed the worst since 2022 or 2016 (take your choice).

A prediction of 12" to 18" or 24", or 28". (Again, take your choice).

So yesterday, I spent most of the day prepping for the storm, a mixture of last-minute shopping (rye bread and butter pecan ice cream - you know, the staples). Fueled up the snowblower, made sure the paths were clear of debris, and got the shovels ready. So, as far as the snow is concerned, we're as ready as we can be for the snow.

Yesterday, Lenore spent the day cooking. We have a supply of breaded chicken cutlets, and "Black Bean Soup" so we'll be well fed as we battle the elements.

We're expecting blizzard conditions, blinding snowfall, driven by gusts up to 60+ MPH winds. (BTW: for some reason, Alexa is suddenly pronouncing "winds" as wine-ds, gotta love AI!)

Most of the snow is scheduled to fall overnight, so my usual strategy of staying ahead of it, doing it a little at a time, isn't an option. I imagine that most of Monday will be spent in snow removal. The powers that be don't think roads will be fully cleared and travel safe until sometime Tuesday. Hopefully, school districts will just close both Monday and Tuesday to keep the kids safe.

An interesting sidebar, speaking of Alexa, last night, I told her to get some rest so she'd be ready to shovel snow –

She actually laughed, then told me she'd be warm and cozy inside, while I built up muscles shoveling snow.

Not if I throw your AI *** outside, honey!
