Columbus, as of 7:00 Wednesday morning had received 13.5 inches of very very wet heavy snow. It's going to take a while for my core sample to melt to see the water content.This is what it looks like out our front door this morning.
Our back deck is nothing but country so you can not really see anything special.I had a horrible nights sleep last night because not only was there a blizzard growling the house but also 10 stitches on my sleeping side as Doctor Cutandstitch took out a chunk of skin the size of a large thumb nail because of a Basal cell carcinoma, a non-melanoma skin cancer, the most common form of skin cancer. Nothing to worry about. They are the results of sunburns.
So now I'm drinking my coffee (wish it was an oatmeal breakfast stout) and putting off going outside and attacking a 4 foot rock/ice/snow dam where the plows, who took 3/4 of the road and deposited the crap in front of my driveway. I can't get out and take MORE photos until I get completely exhausted on that. I'm thinking explosives are in order.
The following photo was taken Monday at the Danville Mill as I hovered over the water.
This will become another postcard as I HAVE A PLAN with post Public enemies postcard plan.
------------------------
The State Gov closed down for the first time I can ever remember. They closed in 1990 but only at like 2:00 or something.
OK - nuff - need more coffee and gotta get out and work my blower to death.
Stretch before you shovel. I can't, I would rip my stitches out. I'll let DJ do the heavy work. NOOOOO I would not do that. I do wish I had a hernia though!

careful snowthrowing, or snowblowing-we're procrastinating too here in Sun Prairie

Careful what you wish for, buddy! ;)
ReplyDeleteBe careful snow blowing...ack! Bad timing for stitches and heavy labor. :( I'm in the clear for snow removal today. HERNIAted disk and all. ;)
Have a fun snow day everybody!!
So I need a statistic Rod. What is our current snowfall compared to the last two years at this time?
ReplyDeleteTodd - we're ahead of last year but only because a year ago tomorrow we had 8.3 inches and then add another 33.5 inches up to Jan 1st.
ReplyDeleteSo right now it's 15.0 to 8.2.
2007 was pretty snowless
Great Blog!!!
ReplyDeleteHope everyone is snowblowed or shoveled out.
I was out at 5:30 and it took 2 hours!
Talk about a work out. Yikes!
It was a Home Run alright!!!!
My pine trees branches were hanging on the ground.
Rod! I hope you are going to be ok!
Hope you get out and get some more photo's!
Drink Hot Cocoa with booze!
It's a Snow Day!!!!
Have a Happy One!
Weatherman Rod, were you watching the air pressure over the last 24 hours? Sadly, we no longer have a working barometer. Chicago recorded the lowest pressure in 20 years this morning, but I haven't seen other more local figures yet.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your stitches-- hope you feel better soon!
Rod,
ReplyDeleteThe steel book PE is on ebay for about $50 “buy it now” place out of Canada. Wish I knew if it has different stuff then the two disk regular. All the footage on the two disk I had seen already. Mann seems to want only the movie footage out? Wish I could get some of the hundreds of hours they cut out.
M - my charts say we went from 30.42 to 29.09 in 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I have ever seen 29.09 before!
Graham - the ONLY difference is packaging and is why most places don't carry it. Not a big seller.
