Cassi Creek: The last
two weeks have featured ice and snow, making travel difficult and closing many
businesses and schools.
Two weeks
ago, my Thursday appointment at VA was canceled due to heavy sleet and
snow. Last Thursday I cancelled my
Friday morning dermatology appointment on the basis of a winter storm
advisory.
This next
Thursday is now calling for the possibility of snow following thunderstorms on Wednesday. I’m beginning to see the Al Capp character “Joe Btfsplk: The world's worst jinx,” running around the region.
The comic
strip, Li'l
Abner” was actually set in the state of Kentucky. However, the region I live in could double
for Dog Patch if one looks at it with reasonable leeway. So could the states of Missouri and Arkansas
if the same leeway is applied.
This has been
a hard winter compared to last year. We
can expect more winter storms and cold temperatures. As long as the roads remain clear, we’ll be all
right. If it gets icy again, we’ll
hunker down and deplete the pantry.
Thus, the cold weather can rotation system.
