Snowpocalypse 2009!

So far, it's made it to tied for 7th on the list of largest snows in Indy: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ind&storyid=21458&source=0

But it's nothing to us 'old fogies' who remember the Blizzard of '78. :)

(WOW, that makes me sound old...)

What's bad is my car isn't starting. Not that I could get it out of my complex yet anyway, but it'd be nice if it would run once the roads get cleared. Thank goodness I can work from home.

What's worse is my daughter is sick, on the day we get the most snow she's seen in her lifetime, so she can't go out and play in it! I suspect I will hear MUCH whining later on... :)

Observe the snow...

Ok, we only got about 4 inches (margin of error +/- 1 inch - I don't guestimate measurements well). But I guess I'm just not mentally prepared for snow until January. (Or perhaps I'm mentally preparing to move to Texas eventually. I will say, I used to claim that I would be miserable if I didn't live somewhere where I could experience all four seasons. But as I get older, I notice that I enjoy the experience of winter far less each year...)

Anyway, it seemed a good time to share a link from a Cecil Adams "Straight Dope" column that makes me laugh every time I read it:
