.....Coffee's great...storm coming in later, not so great......doesn't look like much snow, but if the predicted winds come with it, it'll get pretty nasty fast......makes swap attendance 'iffy' sometimes...seen it be better, and seen it be worse.....we'll see....

I recall how bad this swap was last year at this time. :o   There were a hell of a lot of cars on what was a snow encased parking lot. ::)  it was my last Illinois swap.

I also recall how Jan gave me your last brownie that day. ;D I did not buy any fish that day, just supplies and food from Captain Bob. ;D I think attendance will be just fine.  And coffee is great today.........

I think that you're correct there about last year......and it was awfully cold, plus the hotel staff hadn't cleaned all the walks off yet.....Bob looked like Sgt Preston trying to pull his cart down the back walk.....and did not look pleased either... ;D

My car still bears a couple of scratches from rubbing up against that snow in that parking lot. ::) Snow removal was nonexistent. :o

Willie is the storm front they're talking about heading your way?  Or has any of it hit you already
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

It is a non event here.  Mostly rain and light at that. ;D  To the northwest closer to where your son lives there is some snow and ice. :o The Pocono's is getting all snow. 8)

My son sent me pictures of the snow.  Lol.  After living in California for 20+ years snow is like a new event for him. He did complain about getting plowed in though.  ;D That kind of thing will remind him of his Michigan roots.
