Just happened to look at the local forecast, since we are expecting a
bit of snow today, and saw this:
"snow with a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon"
Snow during thunderstorms? Snow before thunderstorms?
Snow during thunderstorms is something I don't recall experiencing.
We're predicted for 12 to 16" of snow.
Someone on the Sound, someone is boating. Betcha.
We got out yesterday. It was mid 70s.
Got two holiday calls yesterday from friends, one from an old union
buddy who was down your way, sort of, on or near Sanibel Island, and
rubbing it in about the weather, and another from a classmate of my
wife's, a Kenyan who called from Nairobi, where it was warm and rainy, a
bit warmer than where you are.
We're expecting four to eight inches of snow through today.
Speaking of Kenya, did you catch the excellent NY Times piece on how
personal solar panels and cell phones are changing lives in that
country?
Woudn't you know that the technology is all coming from China?
Solar panels on huts...gotta love it. I loved the bit about improved
grades for the kids because of LED lighting.
