Christmas Interruptus
Just a heads' up, I'm away for the Christmas break, visiting relatives without a useful internet connection* , so I will be less than my usual ubiquitous self over the next week or two.
However, said relatives may be installing wireless broadband while we are there, so I may be able to pop in occasionally.
The plan is to leave tomorrow morning (the 23rd), so, if we don't speak before then, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
(Thank you for all your kind comments already!)
*I will not sit in a cupboard to use dial-up!

The blizzard knocked out the power, so I'll have internet only as long as my laptop's battery lasts (if the internet doesn't drop before that). Have a nice holiday, Kiteman!

On the bright side, I think there's a film in that, somewhere. Makes me glad that we don't even have a light frost forecast before Boxing Day.

It certainly smells badly enough :-)

Someone has actually burned water before but it does need salt. link
Reply 11 years ago
You can actually scorch water when it is in the form of snow, by trying to melt it too quickly in a pan on the stove. I smells awful.
Reply 11 years ago
Well, you will have to make sure he doesn't melt now, Frosty doesn't LIKE to be allowed to get to warm :-)

Hmm, you aren't that far off the the east then. Last weekend it was that warm here in south central PA
Reply 11 years ago
Yeah, now it's really windy and cold. I don't even want to go to the mummers thing today, now.
Reply 11 years ago
It's snowing now. How weird. Hopefully, it sticks.
Reply 11 years ago
We had a few flurries also
Reply 11 years ago
It stopped two minutes after.
Reply 11 years ago
yeah, it didn't last very long for sure :)
Reply 11 years ago
Yes, windy....but cold is when I start wearing more then just a windbreaker outside :-) Cold is when you spit and it freezes before hitting the ground. Cold is when a candle flame freezes and you have to take it inside to thaw it out so you can see again. But it is windy out there :-)

Did you survive?
Reply 11 years ago
Yes, I did survive. The power went back up later that day, but the internet stayed down for a while. Nine inches of snow. It's all melted now, washed away by rain. :D
