White Death Is On Its Way

Once again the weather forecasters are predicting massive amounts of snow for tomorrow. The latest estimates are for up to 10 inches of snow. I doubt that it will happen to that degree. The last huge snowfall was also going to be massive. Stores were packed with people stocking up on the essentials, bread, water, and canned goods. We did get some snow, but not nearly up to projections. The weatherman Derrick Beasley's theme song is "Derrick said it would be like this". The station continued to play it, even when it was blatenly inaccurate.

I have a 4 wheel drive truck and a 4 wheel drive Jeep, but I doubt that I will actually need either to get around tomorrow. The roads will be initally snow covered, but shortly will be plowed, salted and clear. Better weather in the next couple of days will even eliminate the need to shovel off the driveway. Soon Spring will be here and everyone will just be eager for Mother's day when it is once again safe to plant flowers without fear of frost. Bring it on.
