Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

Snow started after midnight but was trivial. Now, 9:30 a.m., it's begun in earnest, but the heavy stuff is expected only from noon to 3 p.m. That's not very long and I'll be surprised if it amounts to more than 5 inches. Steady winds of 17 mph with gusts of 35 mph are predicted, but yesterday they were saying 19 and 40.

I'll still fill the bathtub and do the usual "we might lose power" things, but I don't think this storm is going to live up to the hype. Where I am, anyway. Your mileage may vary.

So far, despite the coldest temps I've experienced, this winter has been a big dud - just one storm that dropped as much as 6" and I only broke out the snow blower that time because it was extremely wet / heavy snow that would have been hard to shovel by hand.

Re: “We’re going to have 50 mph wind gusts tonight. ”
Yikes! How are you going to deal with such bitterly balmy weather? Longer shorts?

I'm just kidding, of course. One thing about our gusts is that we're sometimes protected by the surrounding mountain and only get a few of those gusts. It depends on their direction. Nothing's going to stop an ocean gust from hitting you. I hope you'll be able to sleep.
