You can can’t see this on YouTube from here as it has been tagged as private and is no longer available for public viewing. but I initially posted it here too as it brings back memories for me of back in the day.

Sign of the Times

A friend my mine from Morgantown, WV told me about this picture.  It shows a runaway truck ramp on I68 near Cheat Lake, which is about 10 miles east of Morgantown.

The picture has been “photoshopped” to sum up Toyota’s current problems in 25 words or less.

Spring

The temperature has been in the 50’s (Fahrenheit) for past few days.  The snow banks are receding, the crocuses are blooming, the birds are singing, clocks get set to DST this coming Sunday, and last, but certainly not least, my allergies are back.  I guess Spring is on the way.

Snow Daze, the Threequel

I think I’m stuck in a time loop similar to that of the character Phil Connors in the movie Groundhog Day. Recently, each new day is a replay of the previous day:

It snows, I shovel; It snows, I shovel; It snows, I shovel; It snows, I shovel…

Snow Daze III We are now in the middle of the third significant snowstorm  of the season.  And, unlike the previous two, this one  is accompanied by wind gusts of up to 50 mph.   Not a good thing as neighborhoods here have lots of mature trees and aerial rather than underground  power, phone and cable feeds.  I hope I can get this written and posted before the power starts bouncing up and down, or worst case, goes out completely.

Snow Daze, the Sequel

I assumed our big snow for this winter occurred back in December.  Boy was I wrong.  We got hit with another Nor’easter that made the one that hit in December look like a preview of coming attractions.  As I sit here writing there is 23.5 inches (59.7 cm) or so of the white stuff covering our backyard.  It started snowing here on Friday afternoon and finally stopped on Saturday around 5 PM.

Groundhog Day 2010

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this year so it looks like Winter will be around for at least six more weeks. Speaking of Winter, there is more snow expected here today. Predictions are for a dusting of no more than an inch or so. Prediction was the same this past Saturday. When all was said and done there were about six inches of snow on the ground.
