Actually I did not have any big plans today. Except to work and this view is from my work space. The last few days have been *filled* with meetings. Today was pretty open. Tomorrow has filled up.

Anyway. The Twinz of Terror were up and out at 0-skunk-30. They did allow me to get the first shower (they know how I roll) and hung around long enough to have a wee bit of coffee. Then they took off to the Albion/Marshall area to hike on the North Country Trail. They were gonna get more coffee at the Zeeb Road McDonald’s. They took two cars for various indescribable reasons. Imagine if you are working the McDonald’s window and the same guy (in a different car) buys coffee from you as the last customer.

This is kinda my annual “April snow” pic. it’ll probably snow again this month. It might even snow in May. Probably not June although it can get pretty damn cold. Growing up in the yooperland, the only months I haven’t ever seen snow are July and August. This is the Great Lake State and that’s what happens here. This morning’s crapola wasn’t slippery and shoveling wasn’t required. Despite predictions of low 40s temps, I think 37 was the highest it got today so there is still a bit of it hanging around.

There was the usual chorus at today’s work stand-up meeting. “I was so surprised when I woke up to snow”, etc. I kept myself on mute but NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! We *almost always* get snow at this time of year. Usually it’s a nothing-burger, like today. But not always. I had a glacier in my back yard the April after the Polar Vortex Winter (2014). Actually we mostly stop shoveling/snow-blowing in March. Unless there’s a large accumulation of snow/ice, it usually melts quickly. Like this morning’s minor accumulation did. It did not ice the streets or sidewalks.
