significant wintry weather; and a snowman!

I’m killing time right now, sittign in the library at school, waiting on red to finish up in her class… and since i’ve got that nice bit of time, i’ve been checking out the weather forecasts, and seeing how excited everyone’s getting…

They’ve put up this little graphic over at the NWS:

Significant Wintry Weather Possible Late Thursday through Saturday via kwout

The part I hate is where we’re still uncertain on timing and amounts. Darned weather…

…oh yeah, and if anyone wants to kick in on some conspiracy theory jokes, Kroger has taken control of the models, and is trying to get everyone to buy more milk and bread…. I don’t think this one’s true… now Wal-Mart on the other hand… 😛 Hey, it’d make better sense–they got more supplies to try and get rid of… gotta make room for them bathing suits!

Coffeebreak – 3/5/08

On this morning’s Coffeebreak:

Rick’s guest was Gary Carter, of the Harrison County Cooperative Extension Office.

Topics discussed during this morning’s program were moisture and run-off, The Harrison County Tomorrow survey and teams, beef cattle and the recent national attention to “tainted” beef, rental machinery available at the office, the upcoming health fair, and the county fair.

Mr. Carter invited the public to visit the Harrison County Tommorrow section of the extension office site. The site hosts information of the project, minutes from meetings, lists the development teams created and their focus, and offers contact information for committee members. Mr. Carter noted that he has seen a large number of younger citizens involved in these functions. On a related note, Rick mentioned the recent disbanding of the committee which had been organized to develop a plan for the new recreational park.

The Extension office has available for local farmers several pieces of equipment available for rental at low fees. Equipment may be rented for a mere $8 per acre and a refundable $50 deposit. This is a great alternative to buying new or used equipment for small farms wishing to keep costs low.

The Harrison County Health Fair will be held on April 4th [conflicting reports–according to an announcement made by the Community Education Center, the event takes place on April 3rd] at the Harrison County Middle School.

The extension office is already in the works of planning this summer’s fair. One event which may occur this year is that of a demolition derby. Mr. Carter stated that he’s seen and heard of interest for this type of event, and is seeing on the feasibility of holding such an event this year.

Mr. Carter made an announcement of a class being held next week for local farmers. Josh Renaker will be instructing a class next Monday through Wednesday at the Licking Valley Campus of Maysville Community & Technical College, for farmers wishing to know how to put Microsoft Excel to work in record keeping functions. The class is near capacity, however, those interested are encouraged to call the office and reserve a spot on an alternate roster.

Sponsors for this morning’s Coffeebreak were:
The First United Methodist Church, the Harrison County Board of Education, Jetubs, Cockrell’s Auto Center, Eastside Pharmacy, Whalen & Company, and Shelter Mutual Insurance.

WCYN makes available to the public audio copies of Coffeebreak, however recordings are only archived for a period of five business days. Cassette copies are $5 and CD copies are $10. The views and opinions expressed on today’s Coffeebreak have been those of the guest and host and are not necessarily those of WCYN staff, management, or advertisers.

Beef. It’s whats for dinner.

upcoming blizzard?

it looks like we might be in for some fun this weekend, and the NWS might even start hyping this thing as early as tomorrow night…

National Weather Service Watch Warning Advisory Summary via kwout

while i’d love to see an outrageous amount of snow (guesses are at 8″+), i figured i’d give it a shot, and jinx it all by writing something about it. it seems that every-time i say something here it all goes away. so here it is. i mentioned it.

why would i do such a horrible thing–try to screw us out of a major snowfall?

well, i’ve got a ton of homework that’s backed up because of that whole dead computer thing, plus i’ve got my online finals becoming available this weekend… i’d really love to get all that work done… and IF things fall into shape, and there’s a nice disaster assoiciated with this mess, i’ll likely end up playing at the office.

so, anyway, it’d be a good idea for everyone in the area to keep an eye on the weather, stock up on supplies, and prepare for something big.
