There is a winter storm warning for my environ.  We are supposed to see near a foot of snow where I live.  Where do I live?  I live in near the northwest corner of Harrison County, Indiana.  Harrison County borders the Ohio River to the South.  Across the Ohio River is Kentucky.  Translation:  I live in extreme Southern Indiana.

Know this…I don’t have to go to work tomorrow…thanks to our Presidents, especially the biggies like George Washington and Abe Lincoln.  Tomorrow is President’s Day.  Most schools…like mine…are off.  The snow won’t be a factor for us tomorrow.

We are due a winter storm.  The biggest snow we have had around here this season was on November 17th.  It is February.  Compared to our friends in the Northeast, we have have had no winter.

Bring it on, I say.

Whenever I think about snow and storms, I think about the past.  I think about storms from the past.  I remember the Blizzard of 1978.  We missed near a month of school and I know we did not make much of it up.  I remember a February when we didn’t see the grass.  I remember 22 below zero.

I also remember my mother, who was raised in Mississippi, did not let us go out to play when I was kid if it was below 20 degrees.  They are laughing about that in New Hampshire.

Hope you have plenty of bread and milk.

Speaking the rights.
