This "Snowmageddon" storm is so far turning out to be a dud. I know we still have another 24 hours to go but all it did so far is rain till about 1pm then snow for an hour and back to rain and now it's raining and snowing at the same time. We were supposed to have half a foot of snow by now. Local tv stations got everyone in such a panic saying this could be the biggest storm in history that local grocery store shelves are now bare. Schools, Library's, Museum, Local Government buildings all closed for the rest of the week. One goofball meteorologist said this one was going to be like or worse than the dreaded "blizzard of '78", I hope he gets reprimanded at least.

Yeah hopefully the ice skips you and us. Last time we had a significant ice storm here we didn't have power for a week. They upped the snow amount to possibly 18 inches now.

Since my brother in law got his new snowblower attachment and new mower he gave me his old snowblower. And it looks like I'll be using it Thursday as they're forecasting upto a foot of snow for Wednesday-Thursday. Of the big 3 hardware chains in town I found out Home Depot allows you to rent their trucks without having to make a big purchase in store to haul home. So I rented their truck to get the snowblower from my brother in law and bring it home. After I dropped the truck back off to Home Depot I checked out the weekend clearance sale and ended up buying another ratcheting screwdriver that I really didn't need but for half a turn of the handle it does a full turn of the bit and I only paid $5 with the extra 15% off clearance prices sale they were running.

When the Clown Prince got the boot in 2018 I thought Nascar execs were done with bad ideas but nope https://www.jayski.com/2022/01/27/martinsville-spring-race-to-be-400-laps/ Yeah let's shorten the length of exciting short track races but keep the same laps at boring 1.5mile tracks.

Interesting how things finally get fixed around here when you start documenting it. Monday morning I fell again on the iced over sidewalk leading to the parking lot. Since late November early December the eavestrough down spout at the end of the building had been separated from the eavestrough so all the rain and snowmelt has been pouring down on the neighbors front step and then down to the sidewalk. The roof is black so even when it's really cold like it has been this week the snow melts on sunny days and the sidewalk has been covered with a 1/8-1/4 inch thick layer of ice. Monday morning after I fell I took pictures of the missing down spout and ice covered sidewalks, did it again Tuesday and yesterday morning as well. I guess management got word of it or maybe someone else complained as well, when I got home yesterday a new downspout was put on and a lot of salt was put on the sidewalk. The high yesterday was only 15 degrees so it is highly unusual that maintenance works outside. When temps are that low they only do emergency maintenance such as windows, doors or anything to do with the heater/ac unit and anything that can wait till warmer days gets pushed back on the schedule to warmer days.

I'm rooting for the Bengals to make it to the Superbowl again, been over 30 years since an Ohio team made it to the Superbowl.

Thought this fit here instead of starting a new discussion... https://www.yahoo.com/news/missouri-jail-officer-wore-confederate-110000397.html Some people really need to get a life instead of going through other people's social media posts to try and find any little thing to be offended about.

So what was supposed to be just one inch, at most, of snow turned in to 4+ inches of snow. Needless to say since the local weather forecasters on last evening's news said we weren't going to get barely any snow the county plow drivers weren't called in till this morning. Due to the lousy roads there was a multi vehicle pileup on I-75 that still has it shut down. We were supposed to clean an office this morning but we came back home after seeing how bad the main roads were. I'll make that $$$ up and probably more clearing driveways this afternoon anyways.

Tony Stewart is joining Fox's Broadcast booth at least for the first two races https://www.jayski.com/2022/01/23/tony-stewart-joining-fox-sports-broadcast-booth-for-clash-daytona-500/ If he does good I hope they can sign a deal for him to do the rest of the Fox cup races.

Gonna have to disagree with you on that, I don't think it would have been as good if Catherine Bach/Daisy wasn't part of the show. Some of the iconic moments of the show that are stuck in my mind are from the first episode, Daisy standing in the middle of the road in that red bikini and Daisy kicking Roscoe out of the police car.
