We've had a fairly calm winter so far. Yes, winter doesn't start astronomically till a week from Sunday, but the kind of weather that is winter in the Pacific Northwest usually starts about halfway between Halloween and Thanksgiving. Only two Pineapple Expresses resulting in one relatively minor (unless it was your house) flooding event, back in November. I made the mistake of grumping about the endless dank grayness over the last week or so.

And guess what? Predicted sixty mph winds for tonight, rain turning to snow overnight, and they're predicting the longest cold snap since 1990 starting tomorrow night.

OTOH, this is the Pacific Northwest, and they don't always get it right, even though predicting storms in this part of the world at this time of the year is a fairly sure bet. On the gripping hand, however, I really don't want to be driving on an ice sandwich for the next week.

You Are The Hermit

You posses a great deal of wisdom and the ability to see people for who they are. You are always looking ahead at the future, developing visions. A loner, you tend to travel by yourself through life, seeking your own truth. You don't crave material things or fancy titles. You have no baggage. Your fortune: It's possible that there is a unknown guiding figure in your life, ready to help you. All you have to do is find this person and seek their advice. It's also possible that you need to start seeking the meaning of your own life. Either way, there's some deep thinking you need to undertake, and it needs to be done soon.

People get really weird and really antagonistic during the full moon.
