Thanks a lot, Leon

. It got to almost 70 yesterday, and that was a cloudy light scattered showers day. It really sucked. So strange to not be cold. It had my nature in a jumble. Just too dang comfortable for a crappy day. So comfortable it wasn't even crappy.

Woke up yesterday, checked the local news channel website for weather, as I do all mornings through winter, and when I need to know the rain situation other times. They are very reliable, second only to the actual NOAA report. The models showed this storm passing through below this area by a safe margin. Of course, on Sunday the report is a bit slack. That was the Saturday evening report. I was visiting friends and they were saying we might get some snow. Hmmm... things must have changed. I get a multimedia text from an old girlfriend, now simply a friend, who lives in Virginia where I figured the snow would hit. "Looks like we have snow on the way. This is only one model". It showed it hitting here for sure, 4-6"! The local report last night said start around 11pm, stop around 11am, 3-4". A long phone call with a friend in CA kept me up till just after 11. Nothing yet. My natural alarm clock (the lower one) had me visiting the bathroom a little after 2, no snow. Just got up at 5, there is a light covering and I see it's falling steady at a slight angle driven by a light wind in the light of the pole lamp outside. I just walked out the door to the driveway, not sticking to the stone or road out front. And now a word from our sponsors

First snow of the year as well as the season. I also noticed the predicted temps in the 7-day have been taken down to 30s-40s all week. Before they felt we would get snow it was high today about 40, tomorrow about 45, then back to balmy mid-50s or even higher by late in the week. That's how it goes here in the Mid-Atlantic. The cold NW wind gets beat out by the warm SW drift up the Appalachian Valley from the Gulf. We'll get a cold front out of the NW, bringing the temps down 10-15* until the SW drift pushes it off to sea. But once we get a covering of snow the NW starts winning out. This may not stay around to be the one that draws that line. We'll see. Up to now we haven't had a hard freeze. Barely a freeze at all. Maybe light ice on puddles, if we had any. It's been dry and December was, I believe, the driest on record. Whatever happens here on out, this winter will be a short one. Did you hear that, March lion and lamb?
