Snow on The Way
The Wampas are on the loose! Looks like we can actually get our first chance of measurable snow this weekend here in Monticello Indiana. We’ve had a few light traces but nothing to brag about yet. Some parts of Indiana have already seen some inches due to lake effect snow over the past week…but still nothing for my area.
And now a word from Mike Prangley…
A few good reasons why I like the thought of snow…and I am sure all these will change come February when the snow is still lingering around.
There is something about snow falling and collecting on the ground. It creates an abnormal acoustic ambience that I am not used to hearing. The atmosphere seems quiet and peaceful…until a local hillbilly zooms by in his limited snow plow package edition, super loud monster truck.
With snow, there’s sledding. Its a cool and fun way to kill a couple of hours.
All vegetation is frozen, there is no lawn to mow and weeds to whack.
Since its unbearable to go out in the cold and get any form of exercise, the cold weather makes for a great excuse to stay inside and get fatter and play video games.
Here are few sites and sources that I will be checking to track the possible snow:
