Not ‘the entire city is on fire’ bad, but there are a lot of innocent people at risk right now and it’s not going to get better until maybe Friday. If there was ever a time for a freak rainstorm, or a Divinely guided one…

Hopefully only a little, but the words ‘black ice’ are now showing up in advisories. The weather around here is hovering just around freezing during the day, and colding up at night, and the kids are already at a two hour delay for tomorrow. Fortunately, we’re still good on staples, because going out seems dumb right now.

Oh, and Backerkit thinks I’m likely to fund my upcoming Fermi Resolution Workbook project, now. That’s cool.

If you are in its path, don’t play games with the weather. Stay dry, stay sane, and above all: stay safe. This one looks like it’s going to go up along the Georgia / Mississippi border instead of along the coast, so keep an eye on the updates. And remember: stuff can be replaced, but nobody’s giving out extra lives.

This storm has been heading our way all afternoon, and while we need it, we maybe don’t need the high winds that are coming with it. Ah, August. This is when we get the dramatic weather.

100 degrees AND thunderstorms. At the same time. I’m tempted to hang my new suit somewhere out of the rain in the morning, save myself the cost of a steam-cleaning.

Stay safe this week. The weather well and truly sucks, east of the Mississippi right now. And that’s just the part I’m paying attention to.

It’s going to be a lot more of an Eastern Shore problem than an inland Maryland problem. That being said, they’ve already canceled the SCA event my wife was going to attend, and we’re gonna get wind and rain. Will there be a power failure? Very possibly! Will it get fixed right away? I guess we’ll see!

At any rate: if you live on the Eastern Seaboard, please avoid mucking about with small boats this weekend. Thanks.

Thunderstorms and fairly heavy winds, at times. At least it’ll cool things down around here for the next few days. August goes on.

Tomorrow I get to bring the books over to the MD Renn Faire – I’ll be there on September 10th to sell my books. If you’re in the area, come on by! …After buying your ticket, like, now. They sell out fast. Best to just buy them now, methinks.

We got a bad dose of snow and freezing rain going through that’s going to make life fun for half the country by Saturday. My kids’ schools are already doing two-hour delays tomorrow, which is impressive. Normally they wait until 3 AM before making that particular call. I give it only a 70% chance that they have school at all, honestly.

So, stay safe and contemplate the idea of avoiding non-essential travel. I dunno, make some cocoa or something.

It should be over. The equinox was a week ago. And it’s below freezing out there now! We’ve got the heat on and I’m wearing a hoodie. In Maryland, at the end of March. What is going on here?
