OK, I'm aware

[redbird]

This is "winter weather awareness" week: they sent out messages about things like what the different levels of warnings mean, and suitable preparedness. They try to do these things well before they're needed. Instead, I am looking out the window at heavy snow falling, though not much is sticking yet.

But this is not a normal warning for late October in New York City:

HEAVY BANDS OF WET SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH 5 PM...WITH SNOW FALL RATES OF 1 TO POSSIBLY 2 INCHES PER HOUR. EMBEDDED THUNDER WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. THIS WILL RESULT IN DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS WITH SNOW AND SLUSH COVERED ROADS AND VISIBILITIES REDUCED TO 1/4 MILE OR LESS AT TIMES.

It could be worse: this could be happening on a weekday. I don't mind so much sitting home and baking (the oven heat is welcome right now, though the building heat is on).

Other than that, my cut finger is healing, but I should probably go bandage it again in a little bit. I had a nice workout with Emilie on Thursday, and the rest of life is going along in its usual quiet way.

THUNDERSNOW! Did you have any?

This kind of weather is typical for S.Central Wisconsin, but remarkably absent. MyGuy went golfing today!

We had thundersnow, but weren't looking out the window, so didn't see any lightning. (It may, of course, have been in the other direction anyhow.)

Maybe there should be a memetic component of the weather report warning us of the early onset of "What happened to global warming" jokes from climate change denialists this year.

You've got snow before we do!
