If Missouri is Hell

Henry Imler November 29th, 2006

it
is about to freeze over. Yesterday it was 70 degrees in Columbia
Missouri. At noon today, it was 64 degrees. Now, 7 hours later it is 37
degrees.

Yesterday they were calling for 1-3 inches of snow from Thursday to
Friday. At 11 this morning they were calling for ice, then 2-4 inches
of snow from Wednesday night thru Thursday morning. At 2 they called
for ice, then 3-6 inches of snow during the same time period.

Now they are calling for ice, then 8-12 inches of snow from Wednesday night thru Friday morning.

Damn. To go from 70 degrees to 12 inches of snow in half of a week is crazy. And I have to teach class at 8 AM tomorrow, right after it is done icing and we get the first layer of snow.

I wonder how bad it will really get? Last year everything fizzed out in Missouri. I think we had an afternoon of snow on the ground. I bet we make up for it this year.

Now back to grading tests…

Update: Well, there was a sheet of ice on my car
this morning, but thanks to the warm ground (it was 70 a few days ago),
there was no ice on the road with the exception of bridges (yikes) and
top level of the parking garage.

They are calling for 8-14 inches of snow now.

    I’m looking forward to a nice snow day tomorrow (crosses fingers).


    Maybe I’ll stay wrap myself in a blanket, drink hot cocoa, and read some comics. Mmmm…

    That sounds fun. I cherish the snow days we had back when I was in HS -
    lots of pitch (10-point) playing and good times. Got a bit stir-crazy
    after a few days, though.

    NO school for me. The best thing is that I’m a senior so I don’t have
    to make it up at the end of the year. It would be nice though if we
    could not have school onFriday… I have a term paper due then.
