Northern weather

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Wouldn't seem right without rain on Saturday.

You're not getting snow?

I would enjoy snow more. Nothing wrong with a Saturday snow storm. 37 degrees raining and windy sux.

I agree!

Been raining since Friday afternoon........passed records yesterday in VA and probably MD and PA as well now.

Backyard looks like a small muddy lake full of leaves........no, it is a small muddy lake full of leaves

Rufus, it's amazing how many more leaves the rain has brought down in the past 36 hours.

BTW, who is pictured in your new avatar? I should know him. Is he a Sci-fi author?

Depressing actually after you spend 3 cycles raking and clearing leaves to have it look as if nothing was ever done at all.

That is none other than Arthur C. Clarke who was far more than a SF writer - generally credited with the idea of communications satellites and much more.

Aw, darn, I thought it was a new shot of Roger!

I missed my opportunity to see Isaac Asimov in person when he was in the area several decades ago.

Although I have been a science fiction fan since I was in elementary school, and a musician only since 8th grade, i would spend my money
to go live music performances of various types rather than to see a writer. When in college I met some writers and found most of them to be
very poor speakers. I also found that most of them were quite different at the impromptu parties that often happened after the formal stuff.

weatherman was saying "rain rain and more rain". Fri sat and sun. We got a little bit today. Possible a good dose of it tonight. I tried to clean out some cutters on mom's house. Damn near slipped of the roof. Wet moss and mold. Slicker then ice. We also had a tad bit of sleet.

I agree!

Be careful what you wish for! We have January and February to get through and if it snows in proportion to what it rained this Summer and Fall, we'll still be digging out in July!

That might be a blessing......... Snow I can move and I don't have a pressing need to go far.....and the wood rack is full!

Let me know how you're doing after 10 feet or so!

If we get more than 26" in a single storm, that will exceed anything here in 30+ years. We get rain and have not gotten anything significant for many years. You being further north are in far more precarious location for extreme accumulation.

Regardless, I'll be doing far, far better than 99% of my neighbors who tend to be clueless, hopeless, and unprepared.

This is my second consecutive year I'm heading into the season with a dead thrower. Fingers crossed!

The problem with that backward "fore"casting is it only 100% accurate in that direction. You never know. North Carolina just got a pile and we didn't! I hope you get all you wish for! I'm dreaming of a brown Christmas and New Year.

It really doesn't matter around here anyway - anything over 3-5 " and everything just shuts down for a few days. No real need to go anywhere.....and I don't to go panic buy milk, bread, and toilet paper. The priorities of being stuck in the house for a few days around here are bizarre.
