Day of the Blizzard

Sunday, December 26, 2010

Breakfast: Oatmeal squares
Lunch: Cookies, peanuts
Dinner: Baked Haddock and rice
Drinks: Two coffees, Fuze, four beers and some Italian liqueur. Egg Nog before bed.

Had a real good night sleep, having gone to bed around 10AM the night before. Did some groceries in the morning and got ready for the upcoming storm which promises to deliver 12-24 inches of snow to the area. Got the generator fired up and put in the garage just in case and set up snow rake and other snow paraphernalia.

Otherwise, I sat around watching football. New England crushed the Buffalo Bills to clinch first seed in the AFC and the two other New York teams (Jets and Giants) also lost. Can't get better than that.

Got a wood fire going early afternoon and kept it going into the night. We had about an inch of snow in the morning but that wasn't the real storm, the first flakes of the "blizzard" started falling around 3:30 in the afternoon and it stayed on the light side through most of the afternoon and evening. Went out to shovel around 7:30PM and 11:30PM and each time only 2-3 inches so either lots more will come overnight or the forecast of blizzard will bust. As I type this (around 1AM) the snow is finally starting to come down heavily. We'll see in the morning how much we get.
