    I'm not sure how this will play out in NYC.  At the very least, it will be heavy rain, but the temps are supposed to drop to single digits which means ice everywhere.  If that happens, I won't be driving out to Long Island for Christmas.  Bummer.

    That's what I was thinking, but if the temps don't drop below 32, I could make it out to Long Island and back.  I'll see on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

    Actually, we will have high temps in the 50s Thursday and Friday.

    True, but I thought the temps were supposed to drop drastically on Saturday/Sunday.  If it's only rain without icing, I'll drive.

    Glad I don't live upstate near Lake Erie anymore.

    The lake many times keeps the bad weather from us. It is a wedge. Not this time.

    That's why it's called lake effect snow.

    We don't get a lot of lake effect, since the prevailing winds are SW, but when we do, it's a mess.

      All this snow-related talk! Please, my ears are delicate, and I know absolutely nothing of the topic any longer! Spare me the gruesome details! Grrrrrrr.


      (It recently got so cold here that I had to wrap myself in a beach towel 15 minutes after getting out of the water instead of the 30 to 40 minutes that it usually takes. Brrrrrrrr.)

    So the restraining orders are unnecessary? Minnesota needs to get thawed out every spring.

    Incidentally, when you're travelling the world looking for victims "volunteers", do you ever wonder what that wet stuff falling from the sky is?

      I don’t travel anywhere that is experiencing snowfall or has recently experienced snowfall.

      (Little known fact: in the middle of wintertime when Minneapolis has its coldest, freezing days, Jane S sometimes comes out to California to see me instead of me going there.)


      (She’ll deny it, of course, but that’s fine, because her face-saving denial is a stipulation that we worked into the contract that we signed when we agreed to this occasional rendezvous. Shhhhh.)

    Luckily, we will only get rain from this storm but a lot of it!  There is a potential for flash flooding the forecasters are saying.

    Supposed to get 2-8 inches of snow, maybe.  This cold weather is hard on my old bones.

      Maybe you just need someone to give you a warm blanket . . . 


    . . . or an even warmer massage.

    You know just what to do, what a sweetheart.  :  )  Come over, I'll leave the door open.

      Gee, I never even considered that option. I guess my Minneapolis exploits have tainted my line of thinking when faced with certain predicaments. It’s not my fault, though. The meanies who go to court all the time or who love slamming the doors on my foot are really to blame; I’m not that accustomed to being invited in. Grrrrrrr.

    hahaha, as long as you don't just stand in front of the window and look in, I'd rather you come through the front door.

      Why would I want to hang around outside and look through the window? Seems kind of cree…




    …hold on, I’m beginning to understand the validity of it now. (Cough, cough.)

    We only got about an 1in. But power did go out for a few hours overnight. We just grabbed some more covers and went to bed.
