White Out! (Tip of the Hat to the 1963 song "Wipe Out!")

While we haven't (yet) gotten all of the snow that they warned me about about 73 times yesterday, conditions are bad here. The route I had to take to get to Marquette a week back is currently closed due to whiteout conditions. (Continued below) I live about an hour east of Munising, but that town is...

Whew. I did three columns for two different news websites and now I have to brave the temps to wander down to the Post Office to see if my replacement Capitol One card has arrived yet. I was told it was going to be here last Tuesday, but it hasn't yet arrived. I'm not in need yet, but I'm working on... Sign in to see full entry.

It is currently -14 outside right now, but it was -18 earlier. Yippie! I'm getting alerts on my Weather Channel app telling me that starting about 5PM EST, we will be getting another 'heavy' snow storm and be at least -22. Good grief Jeanine! The new book is performing quite well for its first... Sign in to see full entry.

Not to keep pounding on a subject, but it is getting bitter cold here. I had to make a run out to A) warm up the car and B) get something replaced that one of the dogs broke while they were playing. The Weather Channel app says it is 5+ F. The local radio station, my internal car thermometer, and... Sign in to see full entry.

A quick look out the window tells me that unless something changes REAL fast, I'm not leaving town. We got several more inches of snow, and while it is not falling hard, it is still coming. I may be crazy, I ain't stupid. If I had an accident or a breakdown, I'd freeze to death. It's currently three... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm sorry I'm just getting to this today. I was about to post something and that's when the phone began to ring. If it's at all possible, I am needed down state. I told them that I would attempt to make the trip, but I'm not going to risk my life in bad weather. The wind has been out of the south... Sign in to see full entry.

Bad News On The Doorstep...

This just happened this afternoon. I lived about a block and a half from this bank for three years while living in Florida. When they had the helicopter in the air, I saw my old house on the live feed.... Sign in to see full entry.

Other than another ten inches of snow last night, it isn't too bad here. Of course, come Thursday night, all of that changes. We will spend a week or so hovering about zero as a high and Lord knows what for lows. I guess that's the price to live so close to heaven. Every state has a motto, and... Sign in to see full entry.

I spent about five minutes wiping the snow off my car to go down to the post office abot 11AM EST this morning. It's about 4PM now, and my car is buried in snow again. The Weather Channel calls for another five to ten inches. I think this is called 'writin' weather.' Sign in to see full entry.
