Snowpocalypse 2011

Well blog readers...the preparations(or lack there of) by many now come down to the next 24 hours. Massive quantities of milk, bread and various other items you can't go 3 days without have been purchased. Snow blowers have been gassed up, and tested to assure their readiness. The Cities, County and State plow crews have readied their equipment. Now all we have to do is wait...and wait we have.

Initial forecasts have called for the storm to hit around 1p local time, at 4 it started snowing. Well, now the wind has kicked in, and it is snowing pretty good. So now the wait begins, will this be a bad snow storm or just an average snow storm...only time will tell.

The thing that I find the funniest about this is that we live in Northern Indiana. An area coined "The Snowbelt". So we are used to snow, or at least that would be what the name would imply. So why when they predict a snow storm does everyone turn into a baker. With the amount of eggs, milk, bread and butter purchased we should inundated with baked goods...say Friday.

So I am not at the station an additional 12 hours, so if you think before you drive or just plain stay home if you can, we should meet "by accident". Be safe out there everyone, and to my fellow public safety workers, be safe and let's all go home when this is done and tell stories for years about it.

Oh and on a bright note...7 days from now I will be in Florida!!!

Be Kind, Be Safe...

Shalom my Peeps
