How's the weather?


Recommended Posts

Temps are going down here in West Michigan.. Always a sad and melancholy transition for me from the comfort and fond memories of the warm season to the miserable and confining conditions of the winter season, the time of year when gigs slow down and too many lesson days get canceled due to bad weather.. :blink:

And tonight we'll have a hard freeze with lows in the 20's.. :(

We need a winter schedule for Organissimo doing Caribbean cruise ship gigs and a tour of the southwest and Florida.. :)

It was f*****g hell here recently...

Got hit with a freak early snowstorm Monday night through Tuesday. Twenty inches of wet snow, which no one was prepared for. Trees down all over (some still had leaves, which didn't help). Lost power for close to 80 hours, just got it back this evening. Fortunately it only got down to around 20 the next couple of nights, so no pipes froze. Had to shovel everything out by hand, as local plow guy hadn't yet put either plow or studded snow tires on his truck.

I give up; what's a gritter?

One of those salt and sand spraying vehicles? They've been pretty busy here of late.

Didn't stop me nearly hitting an insane small bulldog that appeared from nowhere out of a hedge yesterday. Missed by about an inch (the damn thing just stood there in the road whilst I wizzed past frantically trying to miss it on the black ice. Then the pooch started yapping and chasing me when I drove off !! ;)

...but this is the first day I'll have to actually drive in it.

Okay, that didn't work out too well, but the tow truck didn't seem to have much trouble pulling my van out of the farmer's field. I must admit, my snow driving has been mostly theoretical, and I really hadn't considered what the options were when a car was coming straight at you in your lane. Idiot.

One thing I'll never understand about this area...

I just checked the coming week's forecast. On Saturday, the high is supposed to be 6 (-14 for you sensible areas, if I remember my conversions right!). The low Saturday night is supposed to be 6. How the heck do they pull that off??? Are they trying to tell me that it's going to be amazingly dark on Saturday? :unsure:
