They closed about 200 miles of the interstate last night. The local truck stop was so packed with semis that you couldn't even drive into the parking lot I guess. Several overturned semis in the ditches. That's so scary. I wish some of those truckers would pay closer attention to the changing weather conditions on their routes. Time is money for them, but decreasing your speed and taking extra precautions can be a matter of life and death.
The snowplows are out now, so hopefully everyone will be able to get around safely by tomorrow. They are predicting another storm in a few days. Wow - must be due to all the drifting snow? Did you have high winds as well as lots of snow?

I don't think the winds got as high as predicted (35+ mph) but it was windy enough to cause those horrible road conditions. Not 100% sure, but I'm going to guess at least 20 mph winds with gusts up to 30.
We got at least twice as much snow than originally anticipated. Need to look up the final accumulation, but probably around 8".

Hi Tet! Hope you’re having a good Sunday! morgan , I’m glad it wasn’t as bad as they originally were thinking. We got a little snow this morning, but now it’s just raining and slushy. It’s a good day to stay inside and eat comfort food. I’m making chicken paprikash with my dad.

Happy Monday ??? That was an awful Sunday. We had heavy rain from noon till the early evening and than spontaneously the rain turned into snow Thankfully there has no snow remained on the ground. A lot of accidents happened because the streets were very slippery
300 People had to sleep in a train, because the storm has uproot many trees and they felt on the rails.
So, a new week has begun, make it a good one Tet

How about a couple of sleep jokes to celebrate daylight saving time?
I’ve stayed up all night trying to remember if I have amnesia or insomnia
What do you call a sleepwalking nun? – A roamin’ catholic
Why do black widow spiders kill their males after mating? – To stop the snoring before it starts
I got paid for being part of a study at the sleep clinic – It was my dream job

What do you get when you mix an insomniac, a dyslexic and an agnostic? - Someone who stays awake all night wondering if there really is a dog.
(And my brother is severely dyslexic and loves this joke, so no offense to anyone! )

Hope everyone is well! Funny jokes! I'm not a good joke teller, but I'm great at laughing.
I'm finally beginning to yawn. Maybe sleep is coming soon.
I've been listening/watching music videos. I'm on Linger by the Cranberries right now. Here's my list of go to feel good videos.
Not that you asked, but maybe it will make you feel like spinning - on a cycle, that is. It's my spin list.
Fergiclious Lady Marmalade (the Christina/Pink/Mya version) If I Were A Rich Girl (Gwen Stefani) Moves Like Jagger Run Like the Wine (oops, like the wind, I mean - I'm showing my age here) Freedom (George Michael) Rebel Yell (my boy Billy)
That's a good 30 min set.
I'm going to bed. I've been watching Lie to Me on Hulu. Loving it. I'm learning a lot about facial expressions and body language.
I'm reading Broken Harbor by Tana French. So far, so good. I read In the Woods by her many years ago and loved. This one already has me hooked.
Nite, y'all.
morgan - hope your snow gets on out of there! Stay safe!

Watched this Show some years ago and it was great. Dr. Lightman is a real pain in the neck and tim Roth was the perfect cast. Too bad that they have cancelled the show after only 3 Seasons.

I don't know what is going on with me, but I like it!!
I have gotten into some heavy rock music lately. Santana, Metallica, Rob Zombie just to name a few!
Since I can't sleep at night, I keep ordering CD's!! As Zombie says, ' You can't take it with you'!!
