Snowing

(Yes, I know.  I've used that title before.)

Rain/snow line looks to be about 70 miles away, on the weather radar.  Still debating whether I should run the snowblower just before the changeover, or wait until the end of the storm.  Depends on the amount of rain we'll get, air temperature, other intangibles.  Arcane knowledge required.

Or dumb luck.

Regarding charisma

A lot of discussion, some of it rational, at Making Light on the subject of charisma.  I guess I was responding to the Zeitgeist...

I still distrust the beast.  It tends to blind the audience.

Raining

Went out and attacked the driveway when sleet rattled on the windows.  By the time I finished, precip was straight rain.  I cleaned off one car, rain started to freeze on it immediately because of impounded cold inside.  Left the other alone, as an experimental control.  We'll see which is more accessible in the morning...

Now we have the traditional snowplow berm across the end of the driveway.  Must deal with that before it refreezes overnight.
