Gee, there’s a snowstorm in progress as I type this on Tuesday. How new and completely different….than the last 352 snowstorms this winter.

As I sit here once again freezing my fingers off, I am contemplating the reports of yet another foot of snow headed my way. I don’t think it will be quite that bad in Stow, but here in Lunenburg, aka the Siberian Outpost, we are once again in the jackpot area. Yes, “jackpot” they say……

Picking my son up from basketball practice at 5pm the other day, I noticed it was still light outside. It was “dusky”, but I could still see quite a bit. And as I happily contemplated this breakthrough of sorts, I drove past my turn, up to the center of town, adding 5 minutes on to…

The Independent Clause… Happy New Year 2014
Happy New Year! Happy very cold, extremely cold, frigidly, bitterly cold New Year! There just aren’t enough “colds” to adequately describe my thoughts on this weather. And last night was just the primer for what should prove to be a really good time tonight. The weather people are predicting -12 degrees overnight at my home…
