The Red Brick Times

How's the weather out there?

We're getting all of our snow for December and January today. Seems they were backlogged but got a big shipment in and sent it all at once. The lack of traffic makes walking the dog easier although the 35mph headwind makes walking itself somewhat problematic.

More breaking news as it occurs. Film at 11.

!!UPDATE!!

Everybody survived here. We had a little over a foot of snow.
New York got creamed. 26.9" in Central Park! Most since 1869 for a single snowfall. My brother, Alex, said they had no transport problems inside the city as long as you used the trains. Perhaps a lesson to the powers that be in this? Unlikely.

We hunkered down for the day and baked some gooey bread confections, walked the dog a few times and by this morning the sun was shining, the roads had been cleared and we were able to get to our various assignations as though nothing had happened. Good thing the storm didn't hit on a Wednesday. In that scenario all bets off. They'd be moving stranded vehicles into next week with the concomitant delay in basic snow removal. All in all it made for a laid back Sunday at home. Let's do it again next week!

Aw, Marsha didn't even get a snow day off.

It's been a mild winter here so far. We got hit by that storm a day or two ahead of you with about the same result. Par for the course around here.

Fifty degrees here by beautiful ice-free Lake Erie today, and 55 projected for tommorrow. I am playing the role of an unpaid towtruck operator. My biking buddy, Byron, has a post-retirement job ferrying Lexusses (Lexii?) around the country for a large local dealer. Uses a flatbed rollaway carrier built on an International truck chassis. Can put one car on the bed and tow a second behind with the wheel-lift "stinger" that extends from under the truck. We were Indanapolis yesterday, and will Florida tommorrow for the next few days. My job? Sit in the passenger seat and entertain. It doesn't pay, but it gets me out of the house. Conincidentally, the Daytona 500 will be on when we are there. SRO infield tickets are $125 each. I will watch from afar should the opportunity arise. Won't know the destination until tomorrow AM. Could be Key West, could be Tallahassee, could be the far- flung Isles of Langerhans. Ta.
