The Weather Event...

OK, woke up to this Storm Warning from the Nationial Weather Service, and had to laugh. Someone has a sense of humour there. I particularly like in the first paragraph the phrase " Do not be fooled " What kind of weather serice warning says " Do not be fooled" ???????????? I expect a slightly sinister weather dude in a long black cape to come out at any moment with a dagger and an ominious voice....

And then in the second " will remain mostly a snow event" A snow event? Is that what we are having????? Will they be selling tickets????? Who's appearing? And why didn't I get the gig?

I will be staying in tonight for this event, not being fooled doing some writing by the fire. Kitty would love this. Malena? Not so much.....

Stay warm and safe where ever you are, and remember, Do Not Be Fooled. By anything.

Snowflakes and Weather,
Lorraine



A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST SUNDAY.

OVERNIGHT MUCH OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MINNESOTA RECEIVED FREEZING RAIN... AND SLEET... RATHER THAN SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL. DO NOT BE FOOLED... THE HEAVY SNOW IS STILL EXPECTED TO ENGULF MUCH OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MINNESOTA BY THIS EVENING. AREAS SOUTH OF A LINE FROM THE TWIN CITIES TO REDWOOD FALLS WILL CONTINUE TO SEE A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET... DURING PART OF TODAY... BEFORE THE CHANGEOVER. STORM TOTALS OF 6 TO 10 INCHES OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED BEFORE THE STORM TAPERS OFF SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER... SOME AREAS COULD EASILY SEE TOTALS REACHING THE 14 TO 16 INCH RANGE.

OVER WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN... WHERE SIGNIFICANT SNOW FELL OVERNIGHT... THE STORM WILL REMAIN MOSTLY A SNOW EVENT. AREAS JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE TWIN CITIES... LIKE RIVER FALLS AND DURAND... SHOULD ANTICIPATE A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS TODAY. STORM TOTALS WILL BE GENERALLY IN THE 8 TO 14 INCH RANGE... BUT SOME AREAS COULD SEE CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN THIS.

Spring, cd's, laundry and Hera

Today it was 51 degrees. That is, quite possibly, the coolest ( or hottest ) thing I can tell you tonight. I ought to point out , 51 is 70 degrees warmer than two weeks ago. No one wore a coat or jacket and a lot of people were running around town in shorts. I myself, opted for the black sassy pants, which are a lot like shorts sometimes, as they keep falling down. Full moon in a small town!

It looks as tho, finger crossed, that Chris Ewen is going to come out on the 18th of March to finish the recording! I told him I had 20 hours of gigs in the THREE days before that and I would be one HOT fiddler. ( or one dead fiddler, which is right up me and Malena's alley anyway. ) Seriously tho, I do like recording after playing live a lot, you can bring so much of that energy to the recording. Of course, Malena has done all her bits already, so listening to her sing while I lay down tracks is no bad way to go either.

I did all my laundry AND the cat boxes tonight after work tonight. Not bragging, just stating the facts. If it wasn't so hot out tonight, I would go and hot tub. ( oh I slay myself! ) I am trying to watch Chasing Amy and have yet to figure out if I like it or not. Might have overextended myself on the laundry and cat boxes.

I will leave you with the flyer the oh so talented Miss Kitty did for me and Hera's gig. If you can make it, please do. This is her first US appearance ever, and we are going to have some fun. Oh, did I ever actually SAY we were doing a gig? Or did I just hint at it?????? Now if only we can talk Malena into coming too, sigh ( if you haven't been to her blog lately to see what MISS INSANE has been up to, you ought to go read her last post... ).......Well, here you go....

Music and magic,
