Aw, I've never been so mad at Hawaii in my life: "49 states dusted with snow; Hawaii's the holdout".
Wouldn't that have been cool, to have snow in all fifty states?
Although it probably would have screwed up filming on Lost - and we don't need that.

Just read it in Foreign Policy: "Weather: the lowest form of news".
Genius.

So yesterday I was extolling the virtues of snow (see Snow).
But there's also a negative aspect to the weather, as well.
Take our poor neighbor's car. Yesterday morning at 7:40 am it was a fine automobile.
Last night, however, when Liz and I got home from dinner at the Indian place on Wharf Street, the car was a different matter. The whole trunk was smashed in - no doubt the result of a weather-based accident.
The other drawback to snow? When the apartment complex finally decides to plow and snowblow ... at 10:45 pm when I have to be up early the next morning and be in Bangor, which is two hours away, at 9 am for work.
Speaking of which, I've got to go get ready to go to Bangor.

I love Maine! (And no, I'm not being facetious).
Yesterday Channel 6 said we'd be getting some snow overnight, in the order of 1-3 inches.
Sweet! Nothing big, but it'll be nice to have some flurries after a week off.
Woke up this morning to a snowplow.
"Odd - they're plowing for 3 inches?"
No, they're plowing the six inches of snow outside!
I love in Maine that we get a surprise 1/2 foot of snow (well, maybe it wasn't a surprise to everyone, what did the 6 o'clock news say?) and everyone goes about their lives like nothing happened. Break out the Bean boots and get on with your morning.
"resilient" is the word of the day!

This is what I'm looking at out our spare bedroom window:
Kind of peaceful, isn't it?

Good morning everyone, and Happy New Year!
Well, so far it's been happy, I'm at work (long story, but I'm getting paid double-time so hey, works for me), but there's a beautiful layer of snow on the ground, with the promise of more on the way today and tonight. Tomorrow? Blizzard '010.
Nope, doesn't sound right.
"Blizzard 2010"?
Naw, too Sci-Fi - even for me, and that's saying something.
How about "The Blizzard of Ten" (to be said in a wicked good Maine accent)?
Better than nothing!
Tonight we're going (weather permitting) to the a Red Claws basketball game for the first time. It was one of our Christmas presents to my dad, because Lord knows we all don't need more stuff lying around!
Anyway, I'll let you know how the game is, and how the Expo looks (I heard the lighting is much less yellow, which'll be nice).
So go out and enjoy 2010. "The Blizzard of Ten" hits tomorrow, ayuh.

I am so glad that we moved last weekend. Saturday night we had about four inches of snow in Portland, our steps our slippery, the lawn is white - it just would have made the move oh so much more difficult.
Man is it's nice to be all tucked away in the new place, blanketed in snow.
