Yup, it's still Winter

Sunday PM - snow, wind, sleet, thunder

Monday
5:00 AM - power glitches
6:00 AM - power has been glitchy for the last hour
7:15 AM - decide to go work early
7:17 AM - decide to use snowblower first
7:40 AM - put snowblower away and head for work
7:45 AM - turn around when visibility drops badly
7:50 AM - help push someone out of a snowbank
9:30 AM - check Weather channel for the RADAR, see the worst has passed
9:30 AM - pack a lunch and head for work again
9:45 AM - arrive at work, discover not many others have yet

Since then the power has glitched badly at least three times. UPS? What's a UPS? *grumble*

Hmm. I think I'd take the snow over tornadoes anyway. We had only a watch and a lot of rain, but farther south I guess Illinois took a beating. Doubtless the same storm system that snowed on you. It was huge on the radar.

Between snow & sleet and tornadoes, I'll take the snow & sleet, certainly.

The weather's getting to me too, I have a plumber in my basement snaking the lines from my sump pumps to the sewer to clean them out. Had about an inch of water in half of the basement last night, bleh. Fortunately I don't keep anything in my basement.

It's one of these (http://akimages.crossmediaservices.com/dyn_li/200.0.88.0/Retailers/Sears/ibx047_ibx047a_3.jpg) and used like this (http://www.natlsco.com/newsletter/02winter/snowblower.gif) or this (http://wrt-howard.syr.edu/webpix/DSCN3436.JPG). Sure beats shoveling.
