It would just be nice if we could all be here, watching King Kong tonight

Yesterday, we took a Writers Half Day, knocking off for a late Chinese lunch, followed by a couple games of Scrabble.

Today, given the news that Winter, is, indeed and at last, coming to Central Maine, includes a trip to town to pick up necessities that we would have gotten on our next Regularly Scheduled Trip to Town, early next week, however! That is now inked in as a Storm Day.

This is what the next few days look like, here at the Cat Farm and Confusion Factory:

Winter is set to arrive in stages, starting tonight with a session of freezing rain, moving into Sunday with 1-3 inches of snow and ice expected. We get a breather Sunday night into Monday, except for temps 'waaaaaay lower than we've been used to even on the overnights thus far, then Tuesday? Stuff gets real.

Tuesday Watching a potential winter storm. Snow during the morning will become a mix of wintry precipitation during the afternoon. High 19F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 100%. 5 to 8 inches of snow and ice expected.

Tuesday Night A wintry mix early will taper to a few snow showers late. Low 19F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 70%. Snow and ice accumulations less than one inch.

Wednesday will be calm, with a little freezing rain on the overnight to keep our hand in.

On the one hand, 60F/16C on December 25 in Central Maine is Just Wrong.

On the gripping hand, I was enjoying this shovel-free time.

What's the weather look like at your house?

Eee, I love that song!

We're in Hot Springs, AR until Tuesday, looking out the window of the RV at steady rain. The bad storms passed over us earlier in the week. We're watching the weather closely; there is supposed to be snow ahead of us at Balmorhea State Park (http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/balmorhea) in Texas. With luck it will be gone before we get there. Balmorhea's gorgeous, and one of these days I'd like to stay there when the weather's warm enough to swim, but not this time! :-)

For anyone who has not heard King Kong Tonight, may I recommend taking the few minutes and listen to it. When you stop laughing, you may even want to listen to it again. And find yourself humming it on occasion, with a smile :-)

There's a touch of pathos there too, which is what makes it memorable for me; you laugh and then it makes you think. I'm always surprised Rhoderick Land isn't more widely played. Though, mildly NSFW, if that's a concern.
