Be Prepared

That phrase uses to mean the Boy Scout Motto to me. Sean was a Boy Scout and did a lot of camping with his fellow scouts and friends. They loved finding ways of making the wilderness less wild. I think if he went now he would bring his own generator to make it even easier.

Now the first thing that pops into my head is Scar from the Lion King singing along with the Hyenas. The musical version not the film version.

We have another possible snowfall heading into the area tonight. It will probably be between 2 and 6 inches but I am betting less because we are prepared for it. We have all the materials needed to combat a storm and the after effects. The only problem is that this might put a spanner in our plans for the weekend so we are going to play that ancient game of wait and see.

I swear we are having more snow that usual this year. Peter pointed out that this goes in cycles and we were due for a snowy winter. I am hoping that this doesn’t affect our going to Farpoint. SnowCon was 9 years ago. Either way I am going to get ready for it.

I am grateful for being prepared before we knew we had to be prepared again.

I remember hearing something that we would probably being having a little more snow but this is getting absurd.

How is it in your area? I have been concerned about a number of my friends out there including a couple that live out in the hills.

Where I am, it's not bad at all. The ground is a little soggy, but it's pretty urban here and drainage is good. Just north of Seattle and somewhere between Olympia and Portland OR there have been mudslides. I've heard about some flooding north of here, but beyond that, it's just a wetter but not hazy-crazy winter.
