SNOW! What A Surprise!!!!!!!

SHIP'S LOG:

     Surprise! It is snowing again! And I mean that it is coming down to beat the band! It is supposed to turn to rain late in the day and then back to ice and snow again tonight. This is going to be a real corker!

     I went out and took a walk in the snow. I always like to do that. Everything is muted and everything looks beautiful. It is a winter wonderland. Of course, I wish that there was a guarantee that it would all be gone 24 hours after the last flake falls, but that's not going to happen I am afraid. This makes something like the fifth storm we have had since winter began and it is only February! Sailing seems a long way off.

     I guess that the TYC Florida contingent is not escaping completely unscathed. While we're getting the snow, they are getting some rather intense rain and thunder storms. for whatever reason, the I-5 corridor is taking a weather beating. Florida really seems to get whacked with intense thunder & lightning storms. It surely did when I was there. It was down there at fort Pierce that I got caught in that Micro-burst. How that didn't sink me I still don't know, but it was only one of several storms I had to weather down there. I can remember getting caught in Daytona in very intense storms both on the way down and on the way back. But as a very wise pastor once told me, you don't have to shovel rain!

      I can't believe how foolish the people in North Carolina are. They were warned repeatedly over four days about the storm, that it would be one of the worst they have ever experienced. The Governor even went on TV and told the people of the state not to "put on a stupid hat and got out driving around."  Of course, not many listened and now they have a parking-lot type situation on their roads that makes the one in Atlanta 2 weeks ago long like nothing. As Ron white likes to say, "You just can't fix stupid."

    The snow here is big, fat, wet flakes and it is really coming down. I'd say we got five inches already. Time to find a good book and a warm spot. Stay Safe! And don't put on a stupid hat!!!!!!!!
