Freaky Friday

So here it is, Friday morning, sunny and no Winter Storm Alert for us over at Weather.com. Yay!

Oh, wait a minute. There's a Special Weather Statement:

...ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHERN WISCONSIN MONDAY NIGHT...

DO NOT PUT THOSE SNOW SHOVELS AWAY JUST YET. ALTHOUGH WE WILL HAVE A QUIET WEEKEND AND TEMPERATURES MAY GET ABOVE FREEZING...MOTHER NATURE IS LOADING UP THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE ACCUMULATING SNOW BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO GATHER OVER IOWA AND MISSOURI MONDAY BEFORE TRACKING ACROSS ILLINOIS AND INDIANA MONDAY NIGHT. THIS IS A FAVORABLE TRACK FOR PRODUCING MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IN SOUTHERN WISCONSIN.

CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT 6 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE IF THE STORM DEVELOPS AND TRACKS AS EXPECTED. WINTER STORM WATCHES MAY BE NEEDED IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AS A RESULT.

NATURALLY...THIS STORM IS MORE THAN 3 DAYS AWAY AND MUCH CAN CHANGE. ENJOY THE QUIET WEATHER THIS WEEKEND BUT KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE LATEST FORECASTS CONCERNING THIS POTENTIAL WINTER STORM.

Don't you just love how they're trying to soften the blow and get all cutesy on us?

At least right now (8:00 a.m.) it is only three below and should go up to 24.When they say it may get above freezing -- the predicted high on Sunday is 33. Well, that is above freezing.

Sorry, folks. That's the news for now. The cats -- my other topic -- have done nothing particularly notable and no unusual bird or critter sightings yet. This afternoon I do my library volunteering. Maybe something will happen there worth reporting.
