Looks like we're going to get hammered over the weekend. There are 6-12" predicted for my entire state. None of this "am I borderline, so it could go either way?" nonsense. Break out the X-C skis, baby. Better yet the telemark ones, because they're better at breaking trail. I doubt anyone's going anywhere this weekend, because chances are our subdivision won't even start to get plowed until the snow's almost stopped. The Township may try to keep up with going around 3-4 times as it continues to snow, but it didn't last time we got a good 8+", so I doubt it will now. I think it only bothers doing that if the snow happens during the work week and they're worried about morning or evening rush.

Naturally, I stopped by the grocery store on my way home from the train station, and as expected, it was a mob scene, because everybody else had the same idea. This might be a good weekend to make a batch of lasagne, chili, or risotto. Maybe even mac & cheese from scratch, venison stew, or pork chops with applesauce. Milk, check. Pasta, check. Cheese, check. Tomato sauce, check. Burger, check. Beans, check. Arborio rice, check. Chicken stock, check. Venison, check. Potatoes, check. Onions, check. Garlic, check. Carrots, check. Pork chops, check. Apples, check. There are a LOT of possibilities given those ingredients.

Stay warm and dry everyone!
