Lack of sleep will do that, I guess.  If you stop hearing from me, it&#8217;s probably because I nodded off, went off the road, and died in a fiery car wreck.  Not that car wrecks are usually fiery (except on teevee).  <\/p>\n<p>The lo-cal weather dude did a comparison of how much snow we typically get here when Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow vs. when he doesn&#8217;t (why we outsource this shit to PA, I don&#8217;t know; we could use the jobs here, and I&#8217;m sure there are plenty of people locally who&#8217;d be willing to hang out in a stump for a few hours).  Seems that if Phil predicts six more weeks of winter, we average 47&#8243; of snow.  Whereas, when he predicts an early spring, we average 49&#8243;.  So, by my reckoning, that means we average four feet of snow between now and the end of the season.  Which I guess is about 40% of our annual average.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we&#8217;ve had a real snow dearth here (no complaints), and have only had like 32&#8243; or something.  That doesn&#8217;t mean we won&#8217;t get another four feet.  Hell, we&#8217;ve had four feet in one storm before.  But we&#8217;re just gonna have to hope that doesn&#8217;t happen.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping things get warm and stay warm.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had an idea of something to say, but now I have no idea what it was.
