For the gurus......

The cartoon says "Thursday"..
However, this is what our Wednesday was like here in the high country...

We started the day with a temp hovering around 60 and light rain....
then we went to HEAVY rain.....about 4.5 inches all total.....
Major flooding....bridges under water...opening of emergency shelters...
temps dropping 30*....then came the winds and the snow...which created the icy road conditions.
Whew..!!
Now as soon as the sun come out.....the water recedes....and the salt truck/snow plow clears our road...
I might make it into work....

ps.....thanks Barb for the cartoon i stole off your FB page...  :)

Sticker Shock.....

Being ice bound for the last few days....
I've done a little Internet surfing and have a question...

"What's happened to the price of jeans..?"

Thinking maybe i'd invest in a color, other than light or dark blue..
to the web i went...
Oh....i had no idea..!

What i found cost anywhere from $39.99 - $130.99..!
and does anyone make a size higher than L..?

And colors.....would you wear fuchsia pink..?
The world doesn't need my rear end coming past them looking like an unripe crab apple...

So it's back to Wally World ...
where i can get good old blue and sometimes black..
 boot legged 20W petite  for $19.97  and no shipped charge.

Plus, i can get milk, bread and pet food before the next storm..
One stop shopping...!

I'm Going....

...to work...
But
Who knows how long i'll stay...

It's another hunker down weekend..
Snow ...sleet ...ice....all predicted to start around noon today...

I'll keep my eyes on the windows and at the first sign of moisture falling from the sky...

"I'm outta there!"

I'll make up my time next week when the sun is shinning and it's 45* instead of 17*..!

And They Call the Wind...

..furious....loud....continuing...
all night....sounded like one freight train after another was rushing thru the house...

The gurus are saying the gusts are up to "only" 45 mph...
Come spend the night at my house...
Up here on the mountain we're in the pit crew of a NASCAR wind race..
The gurus are also saying the winds should calm down by mid-morning..
Hope they get that one right...
