The Uncertainty Principle and our getting to Farpoint 2014

In 1927,Werner Heisenberg stated that the more precisely the position of some particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa.

Our current position is home under a blanket of snow that is to shift to a wintery mix then rain and then back to snow. The current rate of snowfall is approximately an inch or a little more an hour. Once this shifts to rain, flooding becomes a problem.

We are to leave tomorrow for Farpoint in Baltimore Maryland, which we have been looking forward to. At this point I haven’t a clue what the roads are going to be like tomorrow. The first problem is going to be getting out of the drive then to the highway and then off the Island.

So today I plan to do all my usual activities to get us ready to go to a convention. I did all shopping yesterday. Today I do laundry and pack. I figure that way we will be able to get moving when we can.

If we can’t get out Friday, then we are going to look at Saturday as our travel day. If not Saturday, then we are going to have to bag Farpoint this year. Sorry kids. We loved to be there but the weather had other ideas.

Of course the rain is the game changer here. Depending on how long that happens and how much standing water there is that freezes, says a lot about what we are going to be able to do tomorrow.

So it looks like we aren’t going to know anything until tomorrow morning.

Everyone stay safe and warm or cool to my friends on the other side of the hemisphere.

I am grateful for things that make this storm tolerable.
