January 19, 2025 – 9:45 AMDiary of a Snowbound Visionary, Volume II: The Cold Strikes Back Dear readers of frostbitten chronicles, The week since Snow-pocalypse 2025: January Edition has been one of reflection and stubborn snow. Despite temperatures attempting a feeble rebellion midweek (a balmy 50 degrees on Thursday, practically tropical), stubborn patches of icy defiance clung to shaded corners, taunting anyone who dared dream of dry pavement. A little rain on Saturday tried to help. It … [Read more...]

January 12, 2025 – 8:57 AMDiary of a Snowbound Visionary, Day 6 (Officially Day 3) Dear future generations, The saga continues, but the storm has weakened. Yesterday, driven by duty and the promise of overtime, I embarked on my greatest mission yet. Though my previous road reconnaissance convinced me that caution was unnecessary, I left early to gather a fellow musician. Preparation was key. In my arsenal: walnuts, cheddar cheese slices, and the true elixir of life—Diet Coke. Forget lightsabers; … [Read more...]
Snow-pocalypse 2025 – part 5
January 11, 2025 – 11:04 AMDiary of a Snowbound Visionary, Day 5 (Yes, Still Day 2) Dear chroniclers of these trying times, Before departing on my epic quest to test the road conditions, I made a bold move: I fetched a ruler. This precise instrument of measurement confirmed my suspicions. The so-called “storm of the century” has left us with just shy of three inches of snow on my truck. Pathetic.

Like a toddler trying to flip a table but only managing to nudge the salt shaker, nature’s performance was… underwhelming.

The snow, I assumed, continued to fall—but who has time to watch the slow erosion of civilization when there are emails to answer? Hours passed. When I finally emerged from my … [Read more...]

January 10, 2025 – 12:14 PMDiary of a Snowbound Visionary, Day 2 (Still Day 1) Dear future historians, Much has transpired since my last entry. Shortly after sipping my Super Orange Emergen-C and mocking the absence of snow, trouble struck the heart of civilization—Corporate experienced technical issues. In the absence of any actual blizzard-related peril, digital chaos reigned supreme. I lost power at home, the cruel irony of working remotely during a snowstorm without snow. Determined to serve … [Read more...]
Snow-pocalypse 2025?
January 10, 2025 – 6:59 AM Diary of a Snowbound Visionary, Day 1 Good morning. As I sit sipping my Super Orange Emergen-C, a beverage of champions and germ-fighters alike, I contemplate the beginning of Snow-pocalypse 2025 – January Edition. The powdery fury that was foretold has yet to descend, but hope—or dread—lingers. Milk and bread supplies are already reaching crisis levels. There are rumors that a neighbor may have hoarded oat milk. I don’t even know what oat milk is, but desperate times … [Read more...]
