This is when it will simply explode.
Ok, the last storm alert that I posted only partially came to reality. We had a little smidge of snow and some sleet but nothing too serious. Anywhere an hour north or an hour west of me likely saw lots more snow, but the weather dudes for our area didn't catch that we here in Turners Falls, MA wouldn't be pummeled until the last minute.
But now ... the hyperbole for the upcoming Nor'easter is quite exciting! Check it out! There's a Winter Weather Advisory and a Flood Watch!
My favorite snippet from a weather dude's blog: "This is when it will simply explode."
I've also never seen a 50% chance of snowflakes forecast for my birthday before. Eeeek!
I took a few pictures today during a brief stroll to 1) seek evidence of life or spring or even humanity and 2) document the level of the river pre-flood, you know, for evidence :-)
They're now posted on flickr!

"Please monitor the weather on Sunday, but also enjoy its power!" Are you monitoring, are you enjoying?
Dude, I think you should not only go to bed, but also pull the covers up over your head!

Well looks like the winter weather watch has been cancelled. I, um, woke up recently and there's only about a quarter inch of soggy sleety snow. I failed to monitor the storm in my sleep, enjoyed its power in my dreams, and did exactly what you said! Lucy and Tio helped tremendously by sleeping on top of me. Happy Sunday! And Happy Birthday to Dad! You know who you are. :-)
