It's getting colder with each passing day. More reason for me to stay indoors.

THE BLIZZARD OF FEBRUARY 19-20TH, 1895
ITS EFFECTS AT NANTUCKET


What a sight it truly was! This sleepy town, which hasn't had much in the way of snow this winter; certainly felt the ravages of the big blow that occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday. It all started at six a.m. on Tuesday, when the breeze which had been blowing out of the east the day before, had turned to the northeast. General Creedon reported the first flakes at 6:30, and more were soon to follow. Throughout the morning on Tuesday, the snow grew in intensity and the wind seemed to pick up. By late afternoon, all steamer service to the mainland was canceled, stranding travelers. Into Tuesday night, the snow briefly switched over to rain, but we seemed to bounce back below freezing. Catherine Stover, the town clerk of Nantucket had this to say about the storm on Tuesday: "The snow seemed to take on the effect of fog; it obscured the town and the countryside." On Wednesday morning, the storm reached its peak velocity of 70 mph with gusts to 110 mph.

Out at sea, the scallop fleet felt the drastic effects of the blizzard. Mark Scharwenka, captain of the vessel Lillian, said "The seas were absolutely astounding. I saw waves that were about 40 feet in height out on the sound." So far, the coast guard hasn't received reports of vessels missing, however Great Point Lighthouse keeper John Chapel reported the Galls to be cut through, making the point an island. By Wednesday evening, the storm had wound down and the moon became visible. In town, General Creedon recorded twenty inches of heavy, wet snow. Out at 'Sconset, the amount was a little less, and Sankaty Head Lighthouse keeper Nelson Abbot recorded a little more of the bluff missing and the outcrop bare of any snow. On Thursday, the skies were an absolutely wonderful shade of sapphire blue. We didn't lose power during the storm, and Philadelphia, Pittsylvania recorded the highest amount in the storm, with twenty-four inches. The storm has since moved into Belle Isle Bay and is delivering its powerful punch to New Brunswick and northern Newfoundland as of this morning.

I want spaghetti right now...

Mid 1960s London seems safer to me, than the real world does.

Sometimes I'm better off dead, there's a gun in my hand, pointed at my head.

I won't not use no more double negatives.

I'm going into the lounge of my clubhouse. I'll see you all in an hour. I might see you sooner.

Clouds make me sleepy, huge fluffy pillows floating along.

If you leave alphabet soup on the stove and go out, it could spell disaster.
