Yes, I know you’re sick of me posting about snow, it’s really a major event here. According to the National Weather Service, the winds hit Category I Hurricane force today during our blizzard. Additionally, the barometer readings were extremely low, like they are during hurricanes.As you might have noticed, I am very interested in weather. I was on my college sailing team, and one of my courses was, and don’t laugh too hard, “Wind & Weather for the Serious Yachtsman”. It was basically a meteorology class and I found it fascinating.
Totals from the last 24 hours of snow are about 18-20 inches, and on top of the nearly 30 we had over the weekend, none of us are sure we can take any more of this! Nothing is open on Thursday, and there’s basically no hope of getting out of Pigtown until the weekend. All in all, we’ve had 72 inches of snow since December, which is about 10 times what we usually get!
I made a little video earlier today and once I finish editing it and upload it, I will link it here.
Also, Flip is going to send over some pictures of the tile on the wall of her gorgeous bathroom, as well as some of the sink.
I LOVE weather. Everyone who has ever lived with me, has always giving me trouble for having the Weather Channel on in the background when I'm working, folding laundry whatever. But I find it fascinating and calming all at once.
ReplyDeleteMeg, I'm so sorry you guys are getting so DUMPED on. Stay warm, can't wait to see the video.
really an amazing storm. connor looks tired, as if saying, Spring?
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting through your serious weather! Looks like Canada...
ReplyDeleteOddly, we are having a mild winter here with little snow and things hovering above and below zero lately. At least we have snow tires in the event that we do get snow!
Be careful out there! And try to enjoy - looks like the dog is having a blast!!

Wow, Baltimore beat DC in the snow totals. Bet you are getting lots of sewing practice. Really bored here, I painted walls and rehung pictures. BTW, I was on the college sailing team too!
ReplyDeleteOh, Meg, I thought of you today while I was watching a national weather report and they said that Baltimore had reached a historical level of snowfall. More snow than EVER before? Stay warm and don't go stir crazy!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the video...look at this as enforced rest Meg! xv
ReplyDeletePoor Connor. He just wants you to make it go away.
ReplyDeleteI suspect everyone in Baltimore is interested in weather this week!

Get ready, Meg. They're calling for more snow Sunday night and Monday.
ReplyDeleteMeg, I tell you after you are through sewing take out anything that can make you feel better, tea, coffee, booze, whatever, it gets pretty depressing I know. I am so wanting Spring, flowers, gardens and sitting on my beautiful four seasons, concrete (it weighs a ton) and yes I had it shipped from CA to NY! My husband about died when he saw they were unloading it. lol Anyway, back to you and Conner, do things that normally you would not have time to do. Try to make this a huge flipping snow time.
ReplyDeleteMeg,
ReplyDeleteI have some serious snow humor for you today. Please stop by so I can hopefully repay a bit of the all enjoyment I alway get here. btw, we are total weather junkies...
meg, it sounds awful- i'm not sure how you are coping! but on a brighter note, can i say i enjoyed your "over it post" juxtaposed with the picture of snow-nosed, tail-wagging connor? *he* is obviously not bothered!
ReplyDeletestay warm and safe, meg!
Spring will come! I promise! Does Connor enjoy the snow? Abbey loves it - but Manhattan has not gotten nearly the snow you have this year...yesterday's storm...only about 5" in my neighborhood by the UN.
ReplyDeletehang in there.... don't get too much cabin fever.
ReplyDeleteI am lpving your snow posts and I think your weather classes sound fascinating!
ReplyDelete*OK, girls~~~ YOU ARE SPOILED!!! UH-HUH, YES, you ARE SPOILED!!!
ReplyDelete...Oh, to wake up & then BUNDLE UP to take Belle out for an early a.m. walk/romp in the FRESH snow would be sooooo much fun! She lovvvvvves it, as do I, & never wants to come in!
Thennnn, when she DOES, she snuggles up to me as if to say "THANKS, Mumm! THAT was FUN! thennnnnnnn, she grabs a bite & her toy frog n' heads straight to bed (OURS, of course!) to relax and dream the day away.... I want HER life!!!
Ha! Well, "Such is life"!!! Warm Blessings,
