Active New Year's Coming Part 2

It looks like the heavier stuff is going to stay to the south, which now forecasters think may see more than six inches of snow. If today's forecast is accurate then we'll get anywhere from a trace up to four inches of snow tomorrow. Of course in reality it'll be anywhere from nothing up to several feet of snow.  Sometimes they predict a snowpocalypse and nothing happens and sometimes we get caught by surprise.  We picked up a take and bake pizza for tomorrow night and will just have t

As I understand it my mom worked as a nurse at the time and she wound up not being able to go home for a few days because she and dad were pretty much stuck.  She worked at the local Mercy hospital and he was on the farm and they were both stuck where they were.  They had winds of u

2023 Midwest Flooding

Because of all the snow we got over the winter, the Midwest is experiencing a major flooding event for those communities by major rivers, such as the Mississippi River.  Here's a video Dubuque just put out announcing they closed off the flood wall.    The floodwall was built in the early 1970s after major floods in the 1960s.  Back in the days where those in Congress in both parties had some level of concern for the American people.  Now I don't think there's any way suc

      I lost my cat Tigerolly last June. The end looks pretty close for Mini and Mija, who are both 16 yo. I'm sad, you guys.
