Winter Weather Update

The weatherazzi has us all worked into a frenzy over the upcoming double-shot of winter weather.  They're expecting the current rain to change over to a combination of snow and ice later tonight and continue through tomorrow, with 1-4 inches of precipitation expected.  They're calling for snow and ice.  Blech.  Saturday is supposed to be precipitationless, and then late Saturday we're supposed to get up to a half an inch of ice through Sunday morning.  

That having been said, I will take a few feet of snow any day over a smidgen of ice, much less a half an inch.  The ice storm of 2009 is still fresh in our minds.

We're prepared here at The Compound.  We have bread, milk, eggs, meat, lots of various soft drinks and potato ships, and a big bag of Totinos Pizza Rolls.  We have two full cans of gas for the snow blower and/or generator.  All need is some Bud Light and a fifth of Makers Mark and we'll be set.  I will be venturing out into the rain shortly for those last two provisions.

As always, I'll keep you posted.
