Probably not, at least not in the near future.
I've got three articles getting close to completion that are soaking up my time and my mental capacity.
I want to get those finished before I start a war.

Good luck with that!

When I pushed that big red button it just went phut... and fizzled out At least, everyone who reacted to it seemed to like what I wrote (or maybe they were just reacting to the great Diogenes anecdote that appended it), and it didn't apparently raise anyone's hackles. It did lead us on a merry dance round anthropology though

I'd love some snow right now. It's so wet here.

Yeah, you’ve got too much Gulf Stream warmth in your waters, I guess. Although if temps did get cold enough, it could be pretty spectacular, I’ll bet!

It’s 29° here, so -1 or -2°C?

I was expecting the cold, but not the snow. It’s already stopped.

Boooo. Guess who’s leaving for class in 45 minutes? Pleeeease don’t let there be ice underneath. I’m fine with snow, but I hate scraping ice. Just put on new windshield wipers a few weeks ago that I don’t want to ruin.

It's not so much the lack of snow as the CONSTANT rain and >90% humidity even when it stops properly raining for a short while.

It is when we get a decent amount. The snow 'smokes' in the wind.

Looks gorgeous, but

Meanwhile I’m complaining with a single thunderstorm.

Tax, as promised.
Galadriel seems to have somewhat weaned the kids. She’s not actively clucking or protecting, but still does everything else. 12 weeks of devoted care!
They got their first outing yesterday.

Shorter than I (and they, I’m sure) would have liked

Josephine says she'll happily supply you with chicken poop as a weapon.
