Quasi-Spring Break

Time for spring break, as the schools call it, even though quasi- or proto-spring would be more like it around here. Actually, today was nearly warm, sunny and dry. Tomorrow's another story. This from the National Weather Service:

A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM FRIDAY TO 1 AM CDT SATURDAY.

SNOW NOW DEVELOPING ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS EVENING WILL SPREAD INTO PORTIONS OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. SNOWFALL WILL LIKELY BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES DURING THE DAY FRIDAY...WITH SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR POSSIBLE. SNOW WILL THEN GRADUALLY DIMINISH FRIDAY EVENING. TOTAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED TO BE 6 TO 9 INCHES...

One more time (at least) around the track for Winter personified, that Old Man. Time to take the week and then some off -- from blogging, not work, at least until I attend my nephew's wedding late next week. Posting will continue around April Fool's Day.
