get on the bus
From our January snow tubing event: the bus boarding.
Another round of snow is on schedule for the rest of the week; the local Fox affiliate predicts 12-20 inches (of course, these are the folks who love to predict disaster); Paul Douglas over at WCCO predicts a more modest 8-14 inches; the National Weather Service appears to predict about 13 inches if I read their graphics correctly.
In any event, I’m glad I swung by REI on my way home last night to pick up a couple pairs of starter snow shoes for Jack and Peter. We tested them out on the boulevard, zipping down the block and leaping the treacherous sidewalk chasms. Should the streets be impassible to automobiles, I’m confident that we three will be able to brave the elements and come back to base with freeze-dried victuals, water-purification equipment, and toilet paper to get us through the storm.
