I remember that storm.  We were living in NOVA at the time, and we lost our car and a neighbor kid.  In the driveway.  Good times.

We are forecast for snow on Thursday.  Because of geographical features, it almost never snows in Nashville... we always get ice or sleet.  The last time we got any measurable snowfall (around 2 feet) was in 2003. 

As far as temperatures, it's been about normal.  Cold, but normal.

Will somebody tell AlGore to SHUT THE **** UP ALREADY!!!!!111eleventyoneeleventy!!

We have some more of that cold, white shit headed into town today, and the temp at midnight is going to be our high temperature for the day.  We're on the express elevator down to -3° today, and if I thought for a second that it would bring on the global warming that gasbag has been bloviating about, I'd set off a friggin' nuke in town square.

I was in the Navy School of Music in the Tidewater, VA area at the time, but Wife #1 and daughter were up in Masshole. Everybody survived, but I remember that whole thing too vividly.

Our school was closed for almost a week that year, with limited buses when it reopened.  Some kids were getting to school by tractors pulling farm wagons.

Down farther south, my sister's husband and several other farmers used front end loaders on their tractors to clear their roads to reach the small nearby town.

We were fortunate.  I don't remember if school was closed at all.  What I do know is that we lived in Dumfries, but we went to school in Annandale.  When Mom couldn't find her car in the driveway, we didn't go to school.  I imagine it was shut down, as it was a small Baptist school.  In addition, the evil step-father was stranded on a business trip, so it was like a big-time holiday.  Snow ice cream.  Pancakes for dinner.  Well, except for when we lost the neighbor kid in the snow tunnels we built.  We found him. He was ok.  Thank goodness for red pom-pom hats.

You sure you weren't able to find him by the yellow stain left in the snow?

No kid, whether lost or not, can pass up an opportunity to turn snow into a yellow color.  :-)

Our area is said to be experiencing the lowest temperatures in most of the neighbors memories.  The LP is taking a chunk out of the household budget even with setting on 58 at night and 64 during the day.  Been using the wood stove a lot and have to get more wood.  There's already been some water line breaks and I'm really hoping we don't get that kind of problem.

Hey, where's my O-check to take care of all my needs!!

1/4 tank of oil in just over two weeks.  Yep--right on schedule for second fill at the end of February, and by then, the cash price for heating oil should be up to about $3.20-3.25 a gallon (they've gone up .25/gal in the last two weeks), which means my NEXT tank fill will be about $550-600.

And to think, a year ago the price of heating oil was $1.75, and gas was just under $1.70.  Gotta love Lord Zero's policies.
