Kinda Confused

Like good little puppets we scurried around yesterday getting ready for the storm apocalypse. No matter what comes it is always right to be prepared.

And I actually believed the hype this time. Radar screens looked nasty and the storm looked like a big one.

Well, it is snowing, has snowed and will snow some more. The roads will be awful, I guarantee it, prolly mostly because budget cuts keep them from being plowed and salted enough. There is talk of freezing rain, sleet, and thunder.....

But as I looked out at it this morning I realized that, but for the press frenzy, this would just be snow. Back in the day, when we walked to school uphill both ways, barefoot, we got storms like these starting in November and carrying through until whenever spring decided to stick its toe in the door. At least one a week. I can remember learning to drive in Gloversville with the snow banks so tall and thick the roads were one-way and resembled tunnels more than highways. That was snow.....

As for this stuff, "sakes, it's only weather."

They were feeding these guys when we stopped at the hatchery Sunday.
Quite a thing to see them jump.

Hope you are all warm and dry, well-fed and safe.....
