The TeeWee weather gnomes are saying that if I liked Friday, I'm gonna love Monday night and Tuesday, because it'll be more of the same only maybe more so.
Since we ate all the sled dogs, we'll have to catch the neighbors and harness them to the sled to run to town for provisions before a fresh blanket of white death lands on us.

If you can catch the neighbors, why go to town, Ms. Donner?
Because even if you invite the neighbors over to a Donner party, you still need TP afterward and coffee in the morning.
and beer. Do not forget the IPA.
Here, two feet yesterday and more slated for Tuesday night and Wednesday. It's not supposed to reach melt temp all week, so it may stick around a while. The sun will deal with a lot of it though...
Me, I blame Canada. Not sure how, but have a feeling they did this to us.
Yeah, we're supposed to get more snow on Tuesday night/Wednesday all damn day. I suppose I should go out and re-stock the pantry tomorrow, to be safe...assuming that the stores have resupplied after the Great french Toast Fixin's Run...
French Toast supplies--get them, it's the law!
A Public Serice message from:

As a Canadian, I'm compelled to shift the blame to algore.
Seriously, it's easy to make fun from up here. A few of us even know how to drive on the white stuff, and we have the heavy equipment needed. Lots of it.
Many places in the US don't need it often, so they're a bit short and it takes longer to get it cleared.
Especially hard on older folks who are less mobile, miss much-needed medical appointments, can't get food.
My American friends in affected areas tell me they're checking up on older friends, neighbours and relatives as best they can.
I'm sure there are a lot doing that.
Dammit, Joel beat me to it!
One thing I can't figure out. I was reading about the D.C. attack of algoristic flurries, and the first thing that ran out everywhere was sour cream.
Were people making dip and having snow watching parties?
Donner Party and TP...somehow I don't think that was an end result at the time...so to speak. Don't rule out the cat's as a food source Tam, if one can eat the sled dog's and their neighbors wats a few cat's amoungst friends?{;-)...just leave my dogs and cats out of the pot....
Remain calm, help is on the way.
I have dispatched a Saint Bernard named Romeo to your location. Around his neck you will find a keg of brandy. Attached to the keg you will find survival instructions entitled "Roast Saint Bernard in a Sweet Brandy Demiglaze."
I hope this message finds you well, and I hope you have brown sugar, because I didn't think to send any with Romeo.
well it cost 2 boxes of 45 acp to get the driveway plowed (Speer Lawman) but for an 850 ft driveway not to bad. Township got the road open, didn't need anything, but it's nice to know we can once again get out.
I think Romeo stopped to read the instructions, I believe I saw him in Winnipeg begging of asylum.
I'm pretty sure "they are gonna eat me" will get you refugee status.
Turning to other news... in a bitter twist of fate, the site of the Donner campground is separated from a Holiday Inn Express and a mini-mart by only a short walk and a hundred and fifty years on the time/space continuum.
This irony has prompted numerous local residents to indulge in "if only they'd been smart enough" jokes.
Of course, not everyone in these parts was helpless in the face of a little snow.
(Oh, and "California history" my ass. He was a Sierra Nevada figure, through and through, right down to being buried in the same cemetery as my family.)
"Were people making dip and having snow watching parties?"
I'm thinking a fair bit of what the stores moved is for the Super Bowl.
The term "Snowmageddon" has been banned, due to attempted jokes by The Won.
I don't care what it does. I have to leave for DC on Tuesday, come hell or blizzards.
Done it before. I can do it again.
Speaking as a Canuck from southern Ontario, all your snow must have come from here ... 'cause we have hardly any. That's too bad because, as John said, we know how to handle it ... how to drive in it ... okay ... some of us know how to drive in it ... and we like how the snow precedes the black fly season.
Just remember that humans walking backwards into the wind-blowing snow is seen as a treat by polar bears.
Regards.

Freak out by weather dude = lolz
I'm just so looking forward to once again breaking out that busted-ass snowshovel that doesn't scrape down to the asphalt and pulling a few more muscles. Bending at the waist is overrated (or at least that's what I'm telling myself) ...
