Such a career! These news "meteorologists" dress up nice and go on camera and tell us based on their scientific knowledge and unlimited electronical gewgaws WHEN we are getting snow, and HOW MUCH there will be in our area. POPPYCOCK! The Farmer's Almanac could probably forecast just as well!
How in the NOT-HEAVEN is Mrs. HM supposed to plan her day?
I checked the news Monday morning, because I'd seen online that snow was in our forecast again. I watched at 5:48 AM, and again at 7:00. Hillmomba would be okay until around 8:00 PM. I was a little worried about Farmer H coming home from an auction. But it would just be starting, and we were only in the trace/1 inch band.
At 11:00, I looked again, to be sure. I was planning my town trip for 2:30. Nothing to worry about, said the meteorologist. Some schools in the county above us were dismissing early. The radar showed that we were getting snow. She even showed the radar. "It looks like we're getting snow, but we're not. It's still to the northwest. The air is so dry that this is not reaching the ground. I just stuck my head out, and there's nothing."
I went to the kitchen to wash some of the leftover dishes. I had cut the turkey off the thighs and wings earlier, to freeze with the white meat, for a future turkey pot pie. The night before, I had frozen some "vinchtables," and the green beans. Farmer H finished off the deviled eggs, and the hash brown potatoes. He didn't want the rest of the stuffing. So I had those containers as well.
WHAT'S THIS???
I glanced out the window, and saw SNOW! I'm pretty sure it was reaching the ground. That would explain the white coating.
It's 12:30 now. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to town. I can put off my shower and innernetting until I get back home. None of the schools around here have called off early.
Whoopsie! Farmer H just called and said the auction is cancelled. He SAID the schools are calling off, but I find no evidence of that on the closings list.
GOTTA GO!
