Oh, THERE'S WINTER!

I was planning on going to the spinning guild meeting this month. And then the weather report started turning uglier and uglier. Now we're talking about a serious winter storm starting Saturday and going through to Sunday evening. Usually, this would not be a huge concern, except for one small thing. Spinning guild meets up in an area that also gets lake effect snow off of one of the Great Lakes.

We've had just a minor dusting of snow on the ground off and on since Thanksgiving. Now with this winter storm projected to blow through, we can possibly get over a foot of snow depending on how far north it is going to track. That's before you move out of the Finger Lakes region (where I live) and up into the snow belts off of the Great Lakes. North of us and west of us are the snow belts off of lake Erie and Lake Ontario. They're getting projections of over 20 inches of snow in some places based off of possible storm track placement.

Because winter is finally here. Good thing my son loves his snow shovel and the idea of digging people out of the snow. He might just get paid by the neighbors to help shovel out their cars on a snow day.
