#1 The new runway configurations at Chicago O'Hare are claimed to be safer in poor weather conditions and more easily maintained.

Apparently they're still not too sure about that.

#2 Starting yesterday at 5 pm, we had rain, freezing rain, and it's still sleeting. Supposed to be snow before it finishes this afternoon. But this is north Texas, so I guess the Daily Mail has no reporters here.

#3 Careful; they'll send someone out your way to show how you are making the price of steak so high even the civilized Pennsylvanians riot over a cut.

#4 Here in NE OH, they have scaled the predicted snowfall back from 12 inches in initial 24 hours of this storm to 6 inches. Supposed to be worse in counties to the south. My city has banned street parking from now until 1000 on Saturday the 5th. Supposedly that is to allow the plows to better clear the streets, but in this case it means they just won't be trying much to clear the streets at all!

#7 Got a nice fire in the fireplace but so far our power has not gone out. And no snow, but roads are slick with freezing rain - but no reason to be on them since most places are closed. It should be gone tomorrow.

#8 I seriously doubt I'll be flying out of Pittsburgh tomorrow, maybe Saturday. 1500 more feet to go on this well, pull data and then leave but looks like I'll only make it to the hotel:S

#9 I am going through the firewood! Probably good, since I have a lot stacked up next to the house, which needs to be burned or moved by spring. And I have just cut and stacked (not split yet) several trees worth of logs for next winter (trees in the way of shed expansion.)

#10 Holding the living room at 50 degrees above outside temp... And don't have to even turn off the heat while wife walks on the treadmill in the next room over. (And who cares if the bedroom is cold right now...)

#12 How do you keep ants out of the woodpile?

#13 Move the pile every year. And burn the ants.

Tell her she has to use the Thor Axe.
