Fruit Tree: East Coast

  1. Geography matters. So does Howard Dean.

    To Cat's comment on the last thread: Just looking at the calendar, I consider February -- at least early February -- the dead of winter. December, not so much. The fact that snow and cold arrived so early this year is why we think it should be over by now.

    Incidentally, 7-1/2" overnight. With flurries still coming down.

  2. That's about what we got, Bill! And where we're at. :-)

  3. Our local forecaster's snow map was WRONG. Up here where he predicted 3-5", we got more like 8" and have 11" on the ground. The local schools did not take a snow day, so my 4-6pm watercolour class was not cancelled. The town plows concentrated on the main roads, leaving the back roads largely unplowed, so it was a white knuckle sleigh ride to class and later to home. But I made it there and back again. And when I got home I got to shovel! I love to shovel!

  4. Off to Capricon tomorrow (SF convention in northern suburbs). Don't know if I'll have time to check in before I leave. Back Sunday evening.

    Tomorrow night I'll be doing a party ("hospitality suite" in official hotel lingo) on behalf of the train trip to next year's Worldcon I'm organizing. Wish me luck!
