hiya, dragon! yeah, it was a bit boring... went to a lecture at uni and it was a bit of a wasted time except I was suffering with really good friends so we laughed whilst communicating via silly doodles (the pen and paper type) back up next week too... but that won't be boring.

Good late morning, nerdthings. It's a pretty lazy morning here. It stopped snowing and we're heading out for a walk soon to run some errands and pick up something for dinner.

Hmm, I think the number of "r"s matters, with a "rr" it is in Mexico I think.
I have also got that tune in my head and if I don't learn some more verses I will go completely mad.

Thanks,
Now I know why I can never remember the words, they don't fit the tune without a lot of bullying.
For me, I think it will be woe, woe and thrice woe.

I'm waiting for the arrival of a storm on Tuesday night and Wednesday that could drop anything from a half-inch of rain to 20 inches of wet snow. Right now it is looking like rain changing to 6 or 8 inches of snow is a reasonable prediction for in-town.
Because this region deals so well with snow (/sarcasm) I am going to stock up on cans of soup and chili and the like tomorrow morning in the event that streets can't be plowed in a timely fashion. If there is enough wet heavy snow then I may be without electricity for an extended period of time.

The south 1/2 of Saskatchewan got whammed by a blizzard today. Friends of mine are trapped in a small town for the night as the police closed the highway. (The Lions Hall is serving coffee and hot chocolate to stranded motorists.)

Hang on peromy!
Scrub, that must be the storm that went through here Friday and closed all our highways.

OK, I never thought I'd utter these words (well, technically I haven't 'uttered' them yet) but I'm a bit over summer. Haven't enjoyed it as much as I usually do this year.

Blizzard comment "friends are trapped in a small town" suddenly made me think of all those horror movie beginnings...,) Seriously though, nice the Lion´s is giving out hot drinks etc.
tlefty bring summa that summer over here to Norway, as I´m a bit over winter---especially as I got all super excited the other week when we got lots of days of warm summer-like weather, only to then get more snow, cold, and now rain:(

Agreed, though to be fair I equate all weather with beer.

(The Lions Hall is serving coffee and hot chocolate to stranded motorists.) Thanks guys. I'm worst-casing it, but only out of abundant personal experience. Which reminds me, I have to buy gasoline for the townhouse association's snow-thrower. Scrubb, yikes. Scrubb and Mapes, I think that's the storm that's heading our way, maybe. It has to dive southeast, then transfer its energy to a developing low off the Carolina/Virginia coast before moving east or northeast, between now and Wednesday. Those coastal lows are full of moisture and are our worst winter enemy. The wild card for this storm is the temperatures, they are supposed to be too close to freezing to guarantee all snow for DC and Baltimore. West of town, especially in the mountains, it not only should be all snow, but there could/should 25 or more centimeters of snow. The Washington Post meteorology blog has dubbed this storm "Snowquester" because of its timing. That may or may not make it more bearable. I see the sun is rising and the sky is blue. Yay.

good luck pero! make sure you have plenty of layers to wear if worse comes to worst.
I am also a bit over winter... ready for spring here! I'd better go and start planning the packing of my suitcase. I will be away for the rest of the week. no holiday.

Thanks, annie. I have regular and thick thermal underwear, thick wool socks, deep winter gloves, etc. I also have plenty of cans of soup and chili, fruits, and instant coffee packages which don't need hot water, etc. etc.

Our summer is not long enough for me to EVER "be over it". Winter, on the other hand... well, I'm there after a month or so. But it drags on for up to 7 times that long. Poor, poor, me.

Annie, these are cans of heat and serve soups and chills. If the electricity doesn't go out, I will heat them up.
