Snow Log: Day 4

Still Snowing but here a few photos of my banjo. A demonstration will be coming soon.

SNOW DAY.

So we went to work, but stayed for about 2 hours until our ITD called and told us to go home. But I took some pictures how the effort it took to get to work-- just for a snow day.

I had to have a guy with a tractor dig me a way out of my garage, as the snow was up to my knee-- and just about at the level of my headlights. I couldn't drive through it. The snow drifts off the garage were like two feet off the eave.

Some people use their snow days to play in the snow.... but me? I built a banjo. All I have to do is string and tune it.

ps I really want one of these tractors.

Its snowing again this morning. We're suppose to get a few more inches, but its no where near the level of yesterday's storm. We'll see how it progresses.

That's it. I have to spend some couch time this morning before continuing the banjo project. Finished pictures will be posted soon! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Snowicane 2010 cont'd

So... my Friday site is closed. Looks like I'll be going to the main office again today.

Practically every school district on my way to the main office is closed today.... so I wonder how the drive is.

What I do know is that I will have to deal with considerably less school bus traffic. What a perk.

For a complete list of closings:

Snowicane 2010

Well... the wind has picked up and the snow has begun to fall. Since its so windy the snow comes at you sideways at like 30mph. The storm is supposed to pick up tonight, but apparently Brighton is exempt. I don't see snow falling .... just blowing everywhere.

I was promised at least 10" by the time I wake up tomorrow morning and I hope that I will not be disappointed.

I had two sessions today and then spent the rest of the afternoon (mostly by myself) at the main office reading, practicing and working on monthly summaries.

It took a while to get home- the roads were pretty treacherous BUT I came home to a lovely surprise- a card from my mom and my build-a-banjo kit.

This banjo project is going to take a little longer than I had anticipated, but I think I am going to enjoy putting in the time to do it correctly.

Sounds like a weekend project to me.

Tomorrow is still up in the air. My Friday site gets a lot of snow and closes for snow days, so I have to keep an eye out tomorrow morning on the news to see if I'm going down there or back to the main office for another day of reading and practicing.

I'll keep you updated on the status of the snowicane.

Signing out.

WTF

there is no blizzard outside.

I am so disappointed.

There is barely an inch of snow on the ground and now they are saying that it won't really start until tonight.

what liars.

I see no snow hurricane.

I guess I should get ready for work.

There's a Hurricane A-Comin'!!!

That's right. A hurricane is a comin'. I heard it on the radio this morning so it must be true.

They called this incoming storm a "Snow Hurricane" which basically means that it will be heavily snowing, but the winds will be ridiculous.... like 50mph or something.

Don't you worry now, I am a-hunkerin' down in preparation for the storm that's a-comin'. Mostly its just fun to say "there's a hurricane a-comin'!"

It reminds me of the Golden Girls episode when the hurricane of '91 comes to Miami. Sophia talks about the storm a-comin'. Rose and Blanche plan a telethon to save the McKinley lighthouse that gets pummeled in the storm. They all meet at the tv station- its an approved shelter.

What they didn't have in Miami was a Snow Hurricane. Rochester probably won't have one either, but it is fun to say. So we're expecting a bit of snow in the next 2 days. Our ITD has a crazy schedule and board meetings and changing flights to get there and all that other good stuff. Kari in the meantime is sick so she didn't come in to work today. All in all a sort of crazy intense day- but a good one. I was introduced to documentation and now all of a sudden have way more to do during the day.

Tomorrow I will stop off and see a couple of clients on my way into our main office. We'll see if both Kari and our ITD come in. I might have a day to myself to sit at the computer and work on documentation, practice, read, etc. In that case I will probably bring my moccasins to work. I love to wear my moccasins..... moccasins. I love them.

I've provided you a weather map of all the good stuff that's supposed to be coming in. I wish I knew more about weather patterns. All I can tell is that is just barely snowing here in Rochester. So far. Now I am going to get into my pjs, eat a little dinner, eat a few M&Ms courtesy of my mother and wait for the wind to pick up.

Soupsies

See... yesterday was "Halfsies" today is Soup"sies".... I made a pot of soup.

Thats about as exciting as its been around here.

My sessions today went well. Towards the end of my day I started getting another tension headache (like last night). I think I need to find a place to get a massage around here and a haircut. Two things I need desperately. They are on the list next to chocolate puddin' packs. I love some good puddin' for some good snackin'. Obviously, puddin' requires me to leave off the ending g's off of all related words.

It's raining outside which gives a totally different feeling than snow. Not that its bad. Just different. Where's all that snow that everyone said I wouldn't be able to handle?

For now, I'm enjoying the quiet of my apartment. Its so nice to have a relaxing place to come to at the end of the day.... especially with a bowl of homemade soup"sies"!
