further data * the rabbits are clearly shitting themselves over the storm * literally. i have never seen so much rabbit shit in my life * shit, i have a flashlight but i've not been using it * do i look at my shoes and confirm what i already kind of know so it bothers me less * i look anyways and there's mud and snow and good enough i'll just pretend i dodged a bullet i went out for a wok, carefully timed. this felt like one of those situations where you could go out and get the feeling like you're the last person in the world. i was right; timing was perfect. no people at all; barely any cars. any cars i do see just kind briefly pop out of a side street and then disappear, kind of like how you'll spot a mouse outside sometimes. it's snowing, but it's wet, and it's mostly just more melted than stuck. or, well, concrete... concrete does not do well here. it can't expand and contract like asphalt, and so the water will get in cracks and tear it up. till the late 90s we had loads of dismal concrete teeth-rattlers; a legacy of whitey bulger and the mafia. not kidding i've also noticed it seems to just soak up the water, full stop. so the asphalt, it's dusting it lightly... but the concrete, rainy show has soaked into it, and so it is slippery, while the asphalt is not... or is the specific heat of concrete... no, shit, i can't go look that up. i could be up until 3am reading about materials science on wikipedia and i still have a few more things to accomplish before we get into the time where electricity loss might be possible -- on the note of specific heat, my fridge is stuffed with like 60 bottles of water. buys you more time if the power goes out |

i think the wind is actually much more than 25mph, but the web site simply doesn't expect values that large and so the wind chart graph looks like it confidently went into hyperspace, into a concrete ceiling |

honestly tho for all the geeking out on metrics... so far it's just snowing, steadily. and still snowing. still snowing. now let's add some wind i'm concerned -- mostly -- about the [mostly] dead tree with branches all about the power and comms lines, few houses down the street. |
