And to think they'll be playing baseball there in 3 weeks. I went through Cincinnati one time during a blizzard a few years ago, the only time in my life I've been when it wasn't baseball season and it was a huge mess. Cars sliding all over the road, 18 wheelers turned sideways in the median. Spring Break and I get to watch it snow, yippee.

See a lot of reports of thundersleet and thundersnow in KY. Its been a while since I've seen thundersnow. Hope we don't have to deal with some the ice problems they're having currently though.

I was like "huh?" then I heard thunder.

Last thundersnow I recall is my freshman or sophomore year in college. That was a real mess.
I'm really hoping this forecast fizzles. I've got too much to do tomorrow.

I got a date with the Post Office in the morning. Other than that I am free.
