Once again, it seems that the Weather Channel has my world
on high alert. I could poke fun at them, but that would be admitting that I've
plugged into it. So, okay, I admit I have. I take seriously all the warnings of
doom and gloom about the impending snow and ice freezing rain. My goodness,
what are we going to do? Those folks on the television will tell you to the
point of insulting your intelligence.
Maybe I’m a tad grouchy this morning. Today was the day I
was supposed to go to Hershy, Pennsylvania to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra
in concert. I haven't been to a concert in many years, not because I'm unable
to go, or unwilling, but because I'm generally financially opposed to the cost
of a concert. Anyway, the tickets are going to go unused. The Weather Channel
says a winter storm is bearing down on our location.
I confess I've been watching the screen on my smart phone as
the blue cloud closes in around us. I've also been looking out the window to
see the first snowflake, but it hasn't come yet. I have a bit of an ulterior
motive in watching for the snow to begin because snowfall is the best time to
burn a brush pile, and I have a huge one that’s been growing all fall. If I
can’t go see the TSO, I can at least play pyromaniac. The falling snow keeps
the fire contained, and I don’t have to worry about burning the forest that
covers the side of my mountain. Now there's an activity for keeping warm the Weather Channel won't mention.
