And the role of Boskone/Arisia will be played this weekend by Ubercon....

woke up this morning to a familiar lack of sound -- the almost total silence of an early morning nor'easter.

And then a low, rolling booom made me think "thunder?"

Nah, must be a Very Brave Snowplow trying to get through.

But nope, it was indeed thunder.

Thundersnow! Mother Nature's so very very cool.


Otherwise, looks to be a classic nor'easter. Anywhere from 8-12 inches forecast for our town, maybe more by the time it's all over. Thankfully, the timing of this storm means that most of us can stay indoors sans guilt, and let the plows and whatnot do their job. So let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Definitely a good day to stay in, sipping hot cocoa and watching the Olympics. :)

Thunder here, too. IF, and it's a quesion mark, the snowploughs came by earlier, they've got it all to do again. And again. It's still coming down, and there's easily a foot of the stuff out there now and clinging to the screens, shutting me in.

Sleep all day. And do galleys.

Yep, that's exactly the plan. With maybe some actual new writing thrown in, as the scene I'm working on now deals with a major showstorm.... (which is a change, as usually I'm writing a book dealing with a summer heat wave in winter, or winter during the summer, or...)

Snow has totally covered the cars out front on the street, making them vague white snowy mounds. And someone attemted to start up a snow blower and gave up in disgust after about ten minutes. Dude. Coulda' told you that....

They'd only have to come out and do it again.

oh, you can't even get an ordinary snow blower to work, with this much snow...

Sounds like they didn't buy the "It only happens once a decade, but be prepared!" model.

Dad didn't go quite that far, but he tried to be prepared. I wasn't strong enough to haul on those old ropes to start it, so I just found a shovel and got to work.

Can't say I miss that part--although I'd trade any amount of ice storms for that snow, no hesitation. Didn't think they had ice down here. And without plows or salt, everything stops with an inch of ice (except Bubbas in pickups, sublimely convinced of their immortality...and ability to drive on ice.)

A blizzard during Ubercon? AGAIN? They got hit with a very nasty blizzard on President's Day weekend during the very first Ubercon. Although I am surprised you even knew about Ubercon since it is more of a gaming con than a SF con.
