I guess we couldn't be lucky every time with these fuckin Colorado lows

last heard 6-10 inches, we'll see if they've refined that

how do I manage trash day?? do I put my trash out tonight even tho it won't be picked up till Wednesday maybe? before or after a foot of snow?

also apparently there was an earthquake in northern Wisconsin yesterday so fuck me???

lmao I'm currently wondering the same thing, we have the same trash day and apparently the same weather right now

oh but no recent earthquakes here that I've heard about - this is probably because unless they're big nobody cares though

lmfao well

I'm a short distance from a blizzard warning

a 2.4 where you are wouldn't even be a blip, here it's OMG WHAT

and have been told that we could get anywhere from 2-12" of snow this week

and I'm like

what do I do with that information

UM?? Lauren plz

that's a big range

don't die

lmfao well I got out and got groceries today while the roads were clear so

I'm just gonna hole up

I'm betting that where I am we get closer to the 2 than the 12 but nobody actually knows

same, the grocery store was a zoo but I have whiskey and cupcakes, the important things

oh nice lmfao and here I went to get oatmilk and broccoli and clif bars

but you know

priorities

tbh the bars aren't even for right now they were just on sale

they're for sticking in my bag for flights

given that Rose has a broadway show to go see Wed night and afaik it's not cancelled

will the snow melt by jan 22? hope so

fahsduyh

oh boy a wed broadway show could be... a challenge

here I heard they're pushing stuff back a week, like ski lessons

imagine ski lessons in a deadly blizzard

climate fuckery aside, this is Wisconsin, things are only cancelled while the snow is falling. when it's done it's automatic back to normal

because up on the mountain it'll be a legit whiteout

OH GOD okay except for that. good lord

lmao yeah see our challenge here involves topography

yes mountains are a whole nother beast

enjoy your snow load for summer water I guess

yeah I sure hope it actually does that!

a big part of that will also be, how early does it melt

but we'll take what we can get out here

meanwhile me: gee I guess it's good we didn't get any shovel-able snow until after I've been cleared by the surgeon for normal activity

oh man well that's valid

time to test my limits the hard way

sounds like I should be the one telling you to not die

... as if shoveling snow could kill you but you know

god, be safe you two

apparently we're just getting a lot of rain, possibly freezing rain

which sucks but it's not 12 inches of snow

oof yeah freezing rain is a bad time for sure

I think I'm in enough of a rain shadow where I'll be seeing a lot less snow than the areas around me, but reading the weather advisory notes is still pretty fascinating haha

yeah, you're in the warmer sector leu, enjoy

7-9 inches. great

followed by below zero temps after Saturday. awesome

fuck you January, you suck

ewwww below zero

here I was dreading our upcoming single digits

idc about "normal" winters, I hate below zero anything

wisconsin really saidFUCK YOU! IT'S JANUARY!

loool yep

ANOTHER 6-10??!!

ah shit I'ma have to do the grocery shopping tomorrow if it starts Friday

literally the same weather is right

right??

I got out for groceries on Monday but I'm thinking I might need to do a last minute just in case trip tomorrow

and then below zero Monday

because hoooo boy

gird your loins

luckily I'm pretty set for food as long as the power stays on, and the power grid is really robust here unlike the bullshit that was california

I still have a freezer full of summer fruit and veg

just have to be able to keep it frozen and cook it so, come on power stay strong

hey at least you can stick frozen food outside in the snow and cold

otherwise known as How Everyone in the Midwest Chills Holiday Beers

lmfao god that's true as long as the coyotes don't want it but I suppose they would not be that interested in tomatillos or chiles

they might eat the peaches

well if it comes to that I'll find out!! lmao

actually before the coyotes the ravens might get into things

I watched them goofing off in the snow this morning, they're just kids

yelling about snow as they fly around to look at things

oh no so cute

god I should really just put my boots on and fill the bird feeder before this

I let it go and now it's empty but nnngh

yeah good call

oh boy yeah heaviest snow 2-6pm Friday? guess tomorrow is no sewing only groceries

(and PT urgh)

C'mon, it finally remembered it's 'winter'.
