I'm going to keep this short. About 2:30 EST yesterday, my wife and I were sitting on our sofa, talking about our plans, when she grabbed her head. She began to tell me that her head hurt, but her speech became slurred. She stood up, took about two steps, and then collapsed to the floor. I quickly... Sign in to see full entry.

We have snow. LOTS of it. I didn't take a ruler out but judging how far my boots were buried in the snow when I went out to start the car, I'm going to say that there is roughly 15" of new snow. Joy. We lost power multiple times due to the high winds, but everything seems under control now. We... Sign in to see full entry.

A little humor in the raging storm outside. I stopped drinking Diet Coke, and started drinking brake fluid instead. Don't worry, I can stop anytime I want. Sign in to see full entry.
A quick note. We have about ten inches of new snow since the storm started about two this afternoon. It slowed down for a bit, but it is beginning to pick up steam again. The power has flickered a few times, but so far, we are good. We have the house setup to stay warm and still have hot water to... Sign in to see full entry.
With some major-league snow coming, I decided I needed to wander over to the NaNoWriMo page and do my first real update. I think I have some like 23,337 total words so far in my anthology of short stories. Their calculator says that at this rate, I'll finish on or about December 9th. I will finish...

It is cold and very windy here today. According to weather dot com, we have already reached and lost our anticipated high today when it was 34 about eight this morning. Yikes! As I see what Lisa posted last night, I'm not going to be here much longer, come hades or high snowbanks. I've consulted... Sign in to see full entry.

It's been kind of tense around here, so here is a cheap joke. My doctor told me to start my exercise program slowly, so today I drove past a store that sells sweatpants. Sign in to see full entry.
Weather Or Not
As far as late fall days in the UP, today doesn't look 'that bad.' LOL It is about 40 right now, with temps heading toward 45. It's been raining (a pleasant change from 'snowing!') on and off all night, but it looks like that the rain has stopped for several hours. It's not much, but it is better...

To tell you that I am getting frustrated by the progress or lack thereof on this house deal would be an understatement. We awoke to another morning of another two inches of snow. While most of that will melt over the course of the day, it begins the process of freezing the top layer of the ground,... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, nuts. It snowed like crazy last night. The end result was about seven new inches of snow still on the ground with little chance of melting today. Tomorrow will be the first day of a three-day 'warmup.' With every bone in my body, I am hoping that we will be able to move to Florida very, very... Sign in to see full entry.
