Tues 17 Mar

Happy St Paddy's Day! So our schizophrenic weather turned bitter cold today. Current temp is 4°. Will solidify the snow on the ground, but then in a few days, it will warm up and start to melt. Yikes! Food: 7:50 am 124 g blueberry cheese croissant, 104 g blackberries, coffee

Mon 16 Mar

Happy Birthday, Bob! For his birthday, even more snow and the wind moved around that which had been cleared. I am going to try to walk to Franciscans to help supervise the shelter option for our homeless folks. Joanne and Jane were going to be there at 6:30 am, but I'm just not that good a soul so I'm shooting for 9 am. I figure if any of the early folks then need to leave, I can relieve them. I'm hoping more reinforcements will come at noon when they would normally open, but I suppose it depends if they can get there. Not so sure how I'll do walking in this wind and deep snow. Food: 7:50 am 117 g blueberry cheese croissant, 102 g blackberries, coffee

Sun 15 Mar

The winter storm is here. Quite a bit of snow down already, I'd estimate 8-9 inches based on the porch railing which usually doesn't get blown too much. I heard sleet when I first woke up. Visibility isn't great. Supposed to continue all day into Monday. Food: 7:45 am 118 g blueberry cheese croissant, 102 g blackberries, coffee

Sat 14 Mar

Started celebrating Bob's birthday early last night with a walleye fish fry at Michele's. They brought him a birthday sundae which we shared for dessert. Today we are heading down to Madison to lunch with Laura and get our errands done. We're leaving right after breakfast to hopefully get home early enough to beat the March blizzard in the forecast for the remainder of the weekend. Let's see if we really get slammed as badly as they're saying. Food: 7:45 am 92 g Costco cinnamon loaf, 100 g raspberries, coffee

Fri 13 Mar

Haven't had a Friday the 13th for awhile. Snow came in first wave last night as predicted about 1-2" of wet stuff, looking pretty slushy out there. Enough to get us prepared for a possible onslaught over the weekend. 7:50 am 67 g Costco cinnamon loaf, 81 g raspberries, coffee

Thurs 12 Mar

Snow forecast just keeps going up and up for this weekend. Remains to be seen what actually occurs. Bootstrap and OBT board meeting tonight, with possibly a little snow today as well. Food: 7:50 am 77 g Costco almond croissant, 86 g raspberries, coffee

Wed 11 Mar

The snow forecast for the weekend has been upped again to a true March dumping. We'll see if they know what they're talking about. I think Nichol should be there for Body Pump today. Was quite exhausted yesterday after Pilates, so we'll see how my body reacts today. Food: 7:55 am 70 g Costco almond croissant, 62 g blackberries, coffee
