What will be, will be

The local TV weather forecast has Toad Woods due for 12-18" of snow in the next 36 hours. The National Weather Service forecast totals are in the 21-35" range, though it does temper that with the word "possible" after each of the 4-8" and 13-19" amounts.

My favorite bit of irony so far is that the Lowell Winterfest has been put off for two weeks.

Here are a couple of distractions for the soon-to-be-snowbound and those fortunate enough to be far, far away from it, too:

Astronaut Sunita Williams hosted this fabulous 25-minute tour of the International Space Station. I could stand to be up there right now, you bet.

The Grand Canyon now on Google Street View. The Bright Angel Trail, anyway. Yowser. Can holodecks be far behind?

Okay, the Wii Fit Grand Canyon hiking game will come first. Hmmm...is there a Wii Fit snow shoveling game so those not fortunate to live in climes such as mine can share in the f/u/n/ exercise?

Love your two Wii Fit ideas! Here's hoping you maintain your internet connection in this storm.

At least you're a Flake, and then you lived in Minnesota for mumble years--you know what snow is and can prepare yourself for it. Not like people who've lived in, say, Atlanta all their lives....

Wishing you all the best during what appears to be a significant storm with winds and huge accumulation..
