Touchdown

I had the misfortune of getting home during the start of yesterday's storm. Luckily, I was only blasted by wind and rain. I saw the marble-sized hail outside a few minutes later. I didn't see the tornado that apparently rouched down in the city.

This seeems to be an ass-kicking year for storms, pretty much around the country. Constant snow and cold this winter. Rain for weeks in April. I assume the summer will be muggy punctuated by rain storms. Good times.

I'm Cooking Up a Groundhog

The last week of February 2010 marked the end of snow last year. We are now well into month number four of this winter and have already made it into the top ten for snowfall in local recorded history. I think the prediction of an "early spring" by the groundhog is not to be. I doubt this will even be done by the six weeks of winter after Feb. 2.
