SHIP'S LOG:
Somehow, "Connecticut" and "Blizzard" just don't seem to go together. True it is that we have had some crackerjack snow storms, perhaps even a blizzard or two but still in all "Connecticut" and "Blizzard" are just terms that do not seem to relate.
Not that any of that matters as the state prepares to get seriously socked today. If this were Rhode Island, you wouldn't be able to find a battery, a loaf of bread or a quart of milk anywhere. The people of this state seem to take things in a more relaxed and carefree manner, at least until the 11th hours when panic will show forth full-bore.
Currently, those in the know - unfortunately that includes NOAA - are calling for 8 - 12 inches of snow which doesn't sound that bad. However, the temperatures are going to drop precipitously and the winds are going to rise exponentially and that combo is what is going to make the next day or so really awful. It could only be worse in Fargo, North Dakota!
I will duck out today to pick up a few items and gas up the car and then hunker down. The weather is "suppose" to begin to get crappy this afternoon but by then I shall be safe and warm and inside. I hope you will all be the same.
