Subject: RE: BS: Winter Storm Stella (blizzard)
"The Weather Channel". The Weather Terrorists got me mum all shook up. Bastards!

Cloudy. Snow beginning late this afternoon. Wind becoming east 20 km/h this afternoon. High zero. Tonight... Snow at times heavy changing to ice pellets or freezing rain after midnight then to periods of rain before morning. Blowing snow this evening and after midnight. Snow and ice pellet amount 20 cm. Rainfall amount 2 mm. Wind east 30 km/h gusting to 50 increasing to 50 gusting to 80 this evening then becoming southeast 30 gusting to 50 overnight. Low minus 3 with temperature rising to 6 by morning.

PFFFT! A little more turnip in the pot and an extra log on the fire should take care of it. Alas, Mum won't "take a pill" so I may have to stay with her overnight. It's soooo much easier for me to keep her back door clear of snow if I stay home as my back door is up a few feet off the ground and the prevailing winds usually keep it fairly clear.

BTW, did you know that spellcheck flags sooo but not soooo? Glad I got out of bed today on accounta any day you learn something new is a good day... except that BS about naming winter storms. B*******!
