So we’re scheduled for a little weather tomorrow. Snow, ice, rain. Oh joy.

Too bad I’m scheduled for an all-day meeting that I really have to attend. I can only hope that most folks stay home and the commute in (or home) won’t be a disaster.

But I’m sitting here watching the nightly news to get a sense of what will happen when, and they show this clip of storm preparations, and in College Park, Maryland, they are cutting tree limbs to avoid power outages in case of an ice storm.

Okay, here’s the thing. It is February 21st. Why is anyone clearing tree branches in the 24 hours before the ice storm? Wouldn’t you think that this is something that could have happened, say, starting in November or so?

I realize this has been a wacky winter, what with our 70 degree weekends and all that, but still.

Ah well. Go figure.
