Aerie AM Report, February 9, 2010

We've been downgraded from a Winter Storm Watch to an Advisory. That means we won't get as much as they feared but AccuHunch is still saying between 4 and 7 inches of snow may fall between tonight and Wednesday evening. The higher accumulations are to be to our south and/or at higher elevations. (Have I mentioned that the Aerie is at 2100 feet? That's actually quite high around here where maximum elevations are around 2400 feet or so.)

Scattered snow is already falling in the southwest corner of the state and is slowly creeping this way according to the Weather.com radar. The heavier stuff is still down in southern Ohio and West Virginia.

Anywho.... It's not supposed to start until well after dark so, while the trip to Harrisburg has been postponed until Friday, I should be able to make it to the photography club meeting in Wellsboro.

Joe and I were discussing how we might be able to make some $$$ out of our ability to draw in precipitation whenever we have anything planned together. We've already put out feelers with the Canadian government to bring an end to any drought they may experience during the summer. All we ask is that they pay for our fishing trips. We can guarantee that it will rain at least five of the seven days we book an expedition.

We thought Vancouver might be interested, but it's kinda short notice for the Olympic ski slopes. Bear season would have been a good time. If they had called us a little earlier.... They probably called Al Gore and...well...like all liberals, he failed to deliver the goods.

(We'd issue an official apology to Baltimore and D.C. but that might get us into a position of being financially responsible for their clean-up costs. So all we'll say is: TS!)
