Holy cow

Tony the landpeer just came over and told me to stay the hell off the back porch – the posts and the roof are buckling under the weight of the wet snow and he’s afraid I’ll get caught out there.  Now I’m wondering if I should move the bikes off the back deck but there’s no place to put them.  Also, what about the barbecue?

Urk.

bwa ha ha…. more snow

The Dalai Jarmo looked at the forecasts a week ago and calmly said, “They are wrong.  It will stay cold until the 28th”.  So I am not surprised by this….
