PG Schools did a switcheroo. I got the 2 hr delay but missed the subsequent school closure message because I was working. lol. Pulled up into the school with my daughter and the parking lot was empty. Ooops.

Got a good snowbank over College Park. Best thing in the world is to have your kids wake up and go berserk over the snow. My daughter gave me a hug. lol

I myself would be happy to see my children go berserk over snow TV this early in the season. Win/Win. I just hope it doesn't end until evening.

Congrats! My son was born in the middle of the March 3rd 2014 storm! Born at the house.

They be pumpin that atmosphere.

A weekend snow would be nice so that we can enjoy it without having to work. Hoping it starts after rush hour.

I needed therapy after that one. Now I think people learned to suffer in silence. However, 7 days out is better than 10.

Yes. I always have a 3 week supply of hopium. If you run out, I can get you some. I think there is a good consensus that we'll have a decently cold December. Mets seem excited.

Should I get excited about this winter? A lot of talk about below avg temps and above avg precipitation. Can't wait to start tracking again and eating popcorn watching people argue snowfall maps. This has been one boring summer/fall. Needs some weather excitement!

Half of PA has power outages.

Basically EF-5+++ tornado winds at 252mph

I was going to say. And 99% of the people have cell phones.

Update, I tried the dish soap and water. Didn't work. I had to call a wasp removal service. I could have removed them myself by getting a bee suit, etc. But didn't want to deal with all that. I watched YouTube videos where bee removers got stung through their gloves. I'm like hell naw. So, they came and dug out the nest and guaranteed the queens would be removed. I had to wait a week before I could mow and another week to put dirt back in the hole and plant grass. I still see wasps (or bees?) flying around my dry garden. I hope there aren't other nests. But at least I can mow my lawn again. lol

Apparently canceling my lawn service and not watering my lawn this summer has invited Yellowjackets to build a nest IN my lawn. I unfortunately discovered this when attempting to mow the sparsely grown tan lawn covered in leaves this evening. Apparently I unknowingly mowed right over this Yellowjacket construction site. I first got stung on my elbow. Thought it was a mosquito. Then I got stung THROUGH my t-shirt. Then on my hand. Then again through my shirt. Of course I start doing a weird rendition of a rain dance of some sort. My neighbors clearly think I've lost it. I try to play it cool, all the while being attacked by these invaders. I go inside for safety. One stings me on my hand again, IN the house. I take off my t-shirt. Thinking I'm safe, I go upstairs. A Yellowjacket. I go in my room. A Yellowjacket. They hitched a ride on my clothes? I killed a total of 6 in my house. Thankfully it was easy because they fly to the windows and just crawl around. Easy targets. I think they got them all. Google says to douse them with a mixture of water and dish soap to drowned out the nest. I will also start up the water sprinkler, which needs batteries because I didn't use it all summer. I will let that run until the grass is nice and soaked, which will also drown out the nest. Meanwhile, my lawn is half mowed. lol It will remain that way until I'm sure it's clear. I have a nice credit on my water bill because I didn't water my lawn. I have a few extra gallons to spare.
