Really enjoying an Argentinian Torrontes (white wine) right now. Snow is due to fall in an hour or so.

Historically, I like to wait until Oct. 15th to do this so we're right on schedule.

I haven't seen any yet, but buds on apple trees in January is a recipe for disaster to a crop that usually buds in March/April. See also cherries, pears, hops, wines grapes. We need a real winter to happen for a variety of reasons, but the non-existence of winter is a problem for farmers here.

Heck, we had that here in central KY!!!

That's why Vinis vinifera doesn't work here. 65 degrees in January, 15 degrees in February. Plants leaf out early, get frosted, bark splits, vines get oozing, infected wounds.

Norton is the only grape to grow here...

Status: offline 		Major snow action in KC this past weekend, starting Friday.

The forecast was for 2-4 inches. Surprise! We received 9-inches in our area.

No loss in power here at Mom's during the event. Good deal, as just one block north, there was an outage that stretched over a mile up.

Across State Line Road is Leawood, KS. They had no power. Our nextdoor neighbor's Mom is at an assisted living center over there & not having electricity is not good. I cannot fathom why they had no backup generator. I went along to help her get her Mom & bring her back here. I even had to shovel the front walk outside the facility front door, as no one had kept up with that. We got her back home. A good thing as power still wasn't back up on Sunday. They had to evacuate the residents to another facility. Power did not come back up until Monday morning.

Our house in Brookside did not loose power. Bonus: our next door neighbor has a snow blower & he cleared our driveway & sidewalk.

Across the street, the entire area to the north had no power until yesterday at 5:30 p.m. As of this morning, there are still 22,000 homes without power.

And we are likely to get hit this coming Friday with another winter blast, just in time for the Chiefs game.

Several chilly/rainy evenings here although nothing compared to KC nor Chicago. Definitely red wine time. The vino becomes a comfort food, literally.

A cheap Cab Sauv, OK but not great, is open and waiting.

Chilly Cheers!

Plenty of snow and such here as well. We had power thanks to underground lines to the building, but most of the neighborhood did not. 8"+ of heavy wet snow and trees don't mix well. Good time as we plan to go to Tamp this weekend coming up to avoid the single digits (F).

Should be interesting, as the temperature is going to be around 6°F (-14.4°C) during the game.

Now they do say wind should not be a factor, but jeez…

"A temperature in the single digits at kickoff would make this the coldest playoff game in the history of Arrowhead Stadium. It could also challenge the record for coldest football game in the stadium's history."
