Wed. Misc.

Back in my chair after the "blizzard of the century" hits/fails to hit KC. The media had the residents so spooked Mon. you'd have thought a nuclear bomb would be incoming. Predictably everything was about half as bad as forecast. Half the snow, half the wind speed, and 10 degrees too warm. Locking horses in the barn area was an overreaction probably.

At the end my truck with its two wheel drive and summer tires made it to the office quite nicely, although clearing 7 inches off the 200 yd. driveway is exercise I prefer avoiding. In the end, Tues. was less severe than two other snowfalls we'd had earlier, and, we did manage to get in a pasture romp with about 3 nice spurts from the Rolling one when the snow was at 3 inches. 18 hours from the start of summer, I am thinking.
