oo we’ve got thundersnow!
originally my neighborhood was in the 1-3″ accumulation band of today’s fuckery, but it’s been revised and we’re expecting 6-8″, which is significant but not approaching Snow Day territory. Traffic will be awful, because it started at 6:45 in the morning and so by morning drive time it should be nicely shitty, but I’m going on foot as usual so I expect it won’t be too terrible for me.
My coworker lives in the 12-18″ band, and he hadn’t been paying attention to the forecast but I pointed it out yesterday. He has to take the awful highway that goes right across the lakeshore (building it was an awful idea, why would you tempt Lake Erie like that? and also why would you make the beautiful lakeshore inaccessible for, like, houses and beaches and stuff? it was a dumb idea and they keep wanting to tear it down but uh it’s a functional highway and there’s no other highway going that direction SOOOOO to sum up, the Army Corps of Engineers has $12B earmarked for us as of this last budget session so maybe?) and so he might not make it in, and I’m prepared for that and for once prepared not to be cranky about it.
Another flash of lightning and immediate clap of thunder! You know, thundersnow used to be rare around here and now we get it all the time. The sky’s not purple or green, though, so I’m less worried than I sometimes am by it. Chita the cat is furious and hiding under the bed already. She Does Not Appreciate sky-booms.
Ugh maybe I’ll eat breakfast before I hike in, snow doesn’t make it hazardous but it does make for hard going when it gets too deep. It takes most people a few hours to get around to shoveling their walkways, and some of the sidewalks around here are pretty badly heaved and I’m always like why is that such a big deal and then we get a tiny bit of snow and I start cracking my toes into the holes and I’m like oh yeah that’s why it’s a big deal and the city fines you and such.
Yeah I’m gonna go fry an egg or two.
