SPECIAL STORMBLOG UPDATE

AS OF 7:25 P.M., 1/4" OF SNOW HAS ACCUMULATED ON THE ROAD SURFACES IN THE WEST WILMINGTON AREA, THE ONLY MEASUREMENT THAT MATTERS AS FAR AS SCHOOL CANCELLATION GOES. HOWEVER, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT MOM AND DAD SHOULD HAND OVER THE KEYS TONIGHT BECAUSE TEMPERATURES ARE SUPPOSED TO FALL AND HURRICANE AND THE WEATHER GUYS (AND GALS) ARE STILL CALLING FOR 8-12 INCHES OF SNOW.

SO IF YOU'RE IN FOR THE NIGHT (AND WEEKEND), HERE ARE SOME FUN THINGS TO DO:
1. GO OUTSIDE AND TAKE A SNOW PHOTO AND SEND IT OFF TO NBC.10. IT JUST MIGHT APPEAR ON TELEVISION. HERE'S THE LINK http://www.nbc10.com/weather/6913731/detail.html
2. REARRANGE AND CLEAN OUT YOUR SOCK DRAWER. MAKE A NOTE TO BUY NEW ONES. FOR GUYS, THE NEW CHAMPION SOCKS BEING SOLD IN TEN PACKS AT COSTCO ARE AWESOME. THIS COULD BE YOUR FIRST TRIP OUT ON THE ROADS IF WE'RE OFF ON MONDAY.
3. E-MAIL AN OLD FRIEND IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. AN "OLD" FRIEND. BETTER YET, CALL HIM OR HER. THEY'RE PROBABLY SNOWBOUND, TOO.
4. HAVE A SUMMER BEACH BASH. MAKE YOURSELF A VANILLA MILK SHAKE. PLAY SOME BEACH BOYS MUSIC. SUGGESTED PLAYLIST: SURFIN USA, CATCH A WAVE, I GET AROUND, THE GIRLS ON THE BEACH, THE WARMTH OF THE SUN, AND CALIFORNIA GIRLS. GO TO THE COMPUTER AND GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH "CANCUN BEACHES." BE SURE THE MODERATE SAFE SEARCH IS ON AND CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE IMAGES. PUT ON A HAWAIIAN SHIRT AND SUNGLASSES. GET SOMEONE TO TAKE YOUR PICTURE (MAYBE SEND THIS TO HURRICANE AT NBC10).
5. CONCOCT YOUR OWN BRINE SOLUTION AND GET IT DOWN ON THE DRIVEWAY ASAP. UNLESS, OF COURSE, DAD AND/OR THE SNOWBLOWER ARE IN CHARGE OF THE SHOVELING.
6. TOP OFF THE BIRD SEED FEEDER BEFORE THE SNOW GETS TOO DEEP; MAKE SURE THERE'S SUET FOR THE WOODPECKERS, TOO.
7. RESPOND TO THIS ENTRY WITH IDEAS OF YOUR OWN FOR YOUR CLASSMATES.

SEE YOU TUESDAY!
