Yesterday, it felt like spring: sunny and temperatures in the 60’s. This morning, a foot of snow. The northeast is getting slammed with a fast moving snow storm with high winds, white out conditions and up to 3 inches of accumulation an hour. Good day to stay home if you can. If you can’t, be …

Pony Party: Snowpocalypse II
Oy vey gevalt.
It’s been coming down for almost 24 hours now as I type this…and the wind has picked up, meaning drifts.
There’s a guy across the street with a snowblower, but from the way it looks right now, you’d have to shovel or snow-blow at least every hour to have any hope of maintaining a semi-clear sidewalk.
The road crews are out, but even the main streets aren’t that great b/c it just keeps coming down.
South-central PA, just above the Mason-Dixon Line, isn’t used to this. Snow, yes, but not this volume of snow.

Snow & Teabaggers Oh my.
Good morning everyone!!!! It’s just after 9 AM eastern and its snowing hoots and gails, can’t give an estimate on depth other than to say the dog I’m dog sitting, Titan – and 82 pound lab, went to the door to take his morning constitutional looked out swiveled looked at me and went back to bed. supposedly here in the Kentucky of New Jersey (Ocean County) were expecting up to 2 feet or so; a depth we just don’t get here.
Anyway, that being said I started the coffee, kicked the dog in the butt, toasted some cinnamon raisin bread and turned on the tube. What a waste, CNN gave so much time to the TeaBaggers and there circle jerk I remembered why I dont watch CNN. After Tancrado’s comments regarding a civil literacy test and “People who could not even spell the word ‘vote’ or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House,” I mean Lord Pasta Monster who the f*&k is this nut and even more importantly who are his followers. The FBI should be infiltrating there organizations for fear that they are traitors, terrorists, and generally nut cases.
Then again Adolf was sent into the National Socialist Party as a spy and ended up taking over. We all know what happened then. The similarities are striking though. A small cadre of loons, thugs, disaffected loosers, racists and ‘patriots’ are the core of what could become our version of the Brown Shirts. Hell I’m just waiting on the the first lynchings.
Oh well BIO has Stevie Nicks on, she’s still soooooo Hot. and I’ve got cleaning to do. Shoveling can wait till we get the last 12 inches they are calling for.

On Snow And Cameras, Or, Health Care Gets A Day Off
Whether you are deliriously happy, incredibly sad, or still uncertain about how you feel about what has emerged from the House this weekend, it’s probably safe to say that one thing everyone is…is sick of the whole thing.
Of course, we’re far from done-but just to give us all a break, I’m going to abruptly change the subject.
I have a Flip Video camera-which I am still getting used to-and last night we ran up the hill to Snoqualmie Pass, Washington, ostensibly to test the camera’s low-light capabilities…but really so we could drive around in all the fresh new snow.
There’s plenty of time to get back to the political wars in a bit; but for right now let’s head up the mountain, see some cool stuff, talk about what the camera can-and can’t-do, and, just for fun, we’ll answer the age-old Seattle question: “how long does it take to find three places that sell espresso at the top of a mountain pass in the middle of nowhere?”
