Good Morning, Afternoon, Whatever!

The best news I can think of in this dreadful winter is that I’ll get to watch a Spring Training game in a little over 48 hours. This has been a pretty nasty winter here. To be fair, though, most of our winters have been pretty mild over the last 15 years or so. I guess you could say we were “due” for one. Doesn’t make my like it any more, though. We’re dealing with a double whammy here. We just went through a pretty significant rainfall event. At one point, over the weekend, every county in Kentucky had a flood warning of some type. We had nine fatalities, according to the governor, from the flooding. All that rain has saturated the ground, making it easier for wind and “heavy” snow to topple trees. The photo is the result of that. I didn’t investigate closely, but it appears that it thankfully did NOT hit any buildings or vehicles, just blocking a street. My day, and the forthcoming ones, was/will be spent inside. After the predicted sn*w tonight and tomorrow it’s supposed to get into the single digits F. That means all the roads will be frozen. I have a freezer full of food, and either tonight or tomorrow I’ll pull out the crockpot and make another batch of infamous potato soup (recipe: bag of frozen O’Brien potatoes, container of chicken stock, whatever else you want to put in it [this forthcoming batch will be including a bag of frozen chopped broccoli]; hence, the name, because it’s infamously easy to make!). Everyone here is fine, thankfully, and if you’ve got bad weather I pray you’re safely enduring it, too! PHOTO: Tree on street.
