As if the weather hasn't been bizarre enough- now we're getting
thunder and lightning, as the snow comes down at the rate of at least
an inch per hour, causing a white out!

Wow, that is nasty weather. Where are you?

We've had thunder and lightening a few times with snow but we usually
don't get that either. Our dau is in NH and she says the mailboxes at
the end of the driveways are all covered, and the drifts from the
snowplows are 5-6' high, the snow is up to her deck, over 3'. Even the
black lab is having a hard time with it. We never had our good
snowstorm this year, just piddly snows, and that is ok with us. Dau
says she wants to be a bear and hibernate til it is all over.
Skirt steaks are usually $3.99/pound here at the butchers. We're
overdue to fix some, that and pulled pork.

KC = 9 degrees last night. 18 now. 50s by Monday.

That is no guarantee of spring in the air, we had sixties about a week ago.
Next up could be anything from blizzard to flood to hard freeze to tropics.
Forecasted severe weather has a tendency not to happen. Moderate storm
forecasts tend to yield severe weather without warning.

A local meteorologist famously went on the air one day saying that morning
he had shoveled about 6 inches of partly cloudy off his sidewalk.

We have a saying... if you don't like the kind of weather we have here, just
wait, it will change. Keeps us outdoor cooker types on our toes.
