Blizzard Update

An interesting day, no doubt. Not, in my humble opinion, quite as bad as the Blizzard of '77, but certainly bad enough. This is what the weather radio is spewing now:

Blizzard Warning in effect... snow...heavy at times...will continue through 1000 PM EST. Some cities that will continue to see snow and reduced visibilities include Lafayette...Kokomo...Muncie and Noblesville. Snow may fall at a rate of one inch per hour at times. Winds are expected to continue at 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 35 mph...which will cause considerable blowing and drifting of the Snow. White out conditions will occur. Some areas have reported 4 to 6 foot drifts already. Do not drive or venture out unless it is an emergency.

I've got one of those drifts blocking the garage door - it remains to be seen if I'll be able to get out and make it to work tomorrow or not. As noted, it's still snowing and still blowing. According to the local TV, we have about 14" on the ground here, and will have about 20" by the time all's said and done. Don't know if we'll make it to that predicted depth, and honestly, even if we did, I'm not sure how we'd know, as the wind is just howling at times. It's certainly a whiteout tonight. Parts of the paddocks are completely bare where all the snow's been piled into drifts.

I guess we're just getting paid back big time for having had March in December - uggh! I wonder what March will be like?

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
