The big news is the Ice-mageddon we are going to get this weekend. Lots of folk in panic mode.
For myself, younger son came by this morning and we went to Academy to look at scopes. Picked out a nice Vortex Crossfire for the Winchester. Mounted it, life is good. We didn't go shoot simply because it rained all day, and I'm not ford of being in the rain. When I was in the Army, the mantra was "If it ain't raining, we ain't training", but I'll wait for less precipitation.
The weather-weenies are prepping us for a huge ice storm this weekend. I'm ready, but I am not yet convinced. What concerns me is the insanely low temperatures they are talking about. Louisiana does not need temps in the teens. It ain't right.
Tomorrow, it is supposed to rain some more. The menu in the shop tomorrow will be chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and cream gravy. I may heat some english peas to go with that. We'll see.
The teens. That's funny.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we're 'waiting' on the weather too, and watching the temps in horror. NONE of our houses are insulated for temps in the single digits.
ReplyDeleteI'm in East Texas. The ice storm we survived a few years ago tells me it's entirely possible. I'm making preparations as my health allows. If it goes like they say I'm in for a right shitty few days.
ReplyDeleteNorth of Tulsa they say up to 12 inches with 15-30 mph wind. Hard to get accumulation with wind like that. Probably will not have to shovel the driveway but the drift in front of the garage door could be epic.
ReplyDeleteI blame global warming
ReplyDeleteKansas got half of what was predicted. System has shifted south some, east coast forecasts revised. Less snow up front but more ice on the back leg.
