Doomed?

What is it with the Hudson Valley?
I think I have only been to one event in Concordia, ever, the EKU where I taught the award and precedence system. The next time I was supposed to go to Concordia, for Twelfth Night (when I was to receive my Pelican), we had a foot of snow, and I cancelled.

Hrim Schola isn't in Concordia, it's in Frosted Hills, but I'm watching the ascending predictions for stormy weather and wondering if it would be stupid to go. I have some contempt for weather wimps, and don't want to be one - but I also have no need to crash my car (or spend a dozen hours driving) trying to get there when there will be other competent people... But I do have 4WD...

Oh indecision!

Snow??? In March?

Crossing into the 80s here today.

Not that I'm teasing you about it or anything. ;)

They have a whole School dedicated to the Hudson River Valley :-)

My classical radio station claimed that it will be light accumulation, so I'm thinking of braving it unless things look really bad Saturday morning.

I know you went, and that you won't see this until you come back, but while I'm guessing the drive there went fine I'm looking out the window and I'm really concerned about the drive back.

Next time you go to an event that far away in a snowstorm, please consider letting [livejournal.com profile] chiefoperator or I lend you our cell phone for the day (which I should have thought of earlier)...

The drive was fine until the Berkshires, when things got a little interesting. The Tacomic State Parkway south was unlabeled for the first 15 or 20 miles and looked as if a narrow plow might have passed that way once. It was tough going, and there weren't many cars going south from I-90 first thing in the morning. But the sun broke out and made the snow on the lawn absolutely beautiful. :-)

Roads were slushy-yucky coming back, annoying but not too dangerous.

One of these days I may give up and get an emergency cell phone.

Tacomic... ugh.... That road is part of the reason why Ryan and I have sworn off attending Barleycorn anymore, in Northpass..

Emergency cell phones are worth it. Really. Just remember to keep them charged....

Well, if you do go, drive carefully!

Seems to me that Long Island is due for another 3-4", but that hasn't stopped anyone from driving like a nut. Eastern CT and Eastern LI are supposed to be socked (Oh joy! I'll be heading right into it tomorrow night) with up to 6" I think.
IF that's accurate.

But really, if you're going to go, steel your wits, and ready the car.

They just got a foot last weekend, and it looks like they'll have another six inches this weekend. Not a good place to be.

I hope you went with your plans of getting a hotel room for Saturday night... Yikes!
