excitedIt's supposed to snow all night!
January 27th, 2009
I just peeked out the bedroom window to see if it was snowing yet. I thought, "Something's wrong with the window--it looks smeary or dirty." Then I looked across the street, and everything looked like it was socked in, in fog. But of course it's not. It's snowing--a LOT!
It's supposed to snow all night!

Preparing
We got about 3-4" of snow overnight. I'm glad I got some photos out front before the snowplow and shovellers came along!
Bunnicula is out getting things we need. He says it's pretty rough walking. Also it has started to rain...freezing rain. He bought an umbrella while he was out. We're supposed to get sleet and snow and freezing rain and such. Eventually it will turn back over to all snow.
Meanwhile I've been charging all kinds of things, in the event of: cell phone (B's is already charged up), both my DS's, both iPods, my Eee is charging now, so is my PSP. Also I never charged the battery on my portable DVD player, so I'm doing that. I still want to charge my UMPC and check that the laptop's battery is fully charged. Also B.'s portable DVD player (yes, we both have one). His DS is totally charged, as he always plays his games on A/C. I'll probably check my GBA's too.
We have a lot of batteries, bottled water, non-perishable meal stuff. B.'s getting me a few extra jars of baby beef. He *should* get himself a little container of milk. Well, he's going to Fresh Market anyway, so I'm sure he'll be getting it there.
I got the dishes done. I'll cook and prepare the beef when he gets back from shopping. Then we'll do our taxes--IF TurboTax is up and running. It wasn't last night. :-/
Cat'r *did* manage to get to work this morning; but when it started to be freezing rain around noon, he and other workers decided to head home and work from home. That's what he's doing now--working, but at home. He said the rain was freezing to his windshield while he was driving home!
Let's see...what can I hook up here to this power strip back here?....
ETA: My GameBoy Micro seems totally full up, so I put that back. I'm charging my GameBoy Advance SP here by the computer.

As the day progresses
Bunnicula got back, with his boots in tatters. They really only lasted one season. He was wondering why his feet were feeling cold--they got WET! The soles just totally tore away from the rest of the boot. Sheesh!
Got the beef cooked, processed, and stowed in the fridge. I'm sitting here for just a minute before moving on to other things. I hear the tapping of freezing rain against the window.
I don't think we're getting any more all-out snow. From here on out (through noon tomorrow or so) it'll be a wintry mix. No wait. The latest: we might get all-snow after 10am tomorrow.
My portable DVD player is *still* charging. The laptop is charging/topping up.
Need to eat. Then we need to do the taxes. Maybe after that I'll have a chance to knit. :-)
Bunnicula wants a simple knitted coaster to put by his computer. I told him to pick out a skein of the Lily Sugar'n Cream (cotton) yarn in a colour he liked while he was over at the shopping center, and he chose a variegated blue--nice. :-)

What I have been twittering about today:
- 10:42 Snow! Well, not much compared to what people farther north get; but about 3-4 inches so far. More to come! :-) #
