It's supposed to be a weekend of snow (3-5" they say), freezing rain, ice and rain. It's snowing as I type. Looks like I'll be barricaded inside at least until the rain melts away any ice. You can deal with snow, cold, wind and rain but I don't want to test the ice.
What the ice does provide though is a heavy dose of movies, music, books and televised hoops.
Listening to Bob Dylan's, "Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again."
Hoopwise ..... Watching Oregon State get blown out by Washington, who isn't all that great of a team this season either. OSU just doesn't have the bodies right now to compete. Too many injuries, a individual suspension for most of this current season and two unexpected player departures prior to the start of the season. They've ended up playing a couple guys who are in over their heads at the Division One level.

Getting on to late afternoon now and there's news reports of accidents all over. Why do people go out in this stuff? Just stay home!! Watch a movie. The conditions have been predicted for several days now. There was plenty of time to make plans, adjust schedules, etc..... There should be very few reasons that someone needs to be out on the roads. Why take the risks to yourself and others? Life can be put on hold for a day.
Was intending to venture outdoors for a few minutes armed with my camera but after a few movies and a unintentional but well needed nap, it's dark again.
