	More Snow, no advisory?

Posted by: nobyter, 11:31 AM GMT on March 05, 2012

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
The Boo Boo Dog delightful,
And since we have no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

More snow on Walton's mountain. Funny there isn't an advisory...

Big Flakes!

	Daffodils to Snow?

Posted by: nobyter, 11:51 PM GMT on February 17, 2012

What crazy weather... We had daffodils blooming on the 5th of February almost 2 weeks earlier than last year and 4 weeks earlier than the year before. I was afraid that we could see a VERY hot summer with an abundant of insects. But now, I see and hear rumors that we may see a major snow storm Saturday night and Sunday. I gotta get a picture of the daffodils getting buried in the snow. My spidey senses tell me that the low will warm up the cold air coming from ...

	What do you mean there isn't Broadband!

Posted by: nobyter, 12:32 AM GMT on January 21, 2012

Okay, I now believe that the world is coming to an end. I just learned that the ONLY Internet service other than dialup or hughes-r-net is ending in 11 days. Hughes Net left a bad taste in my mouth and a hole in my wallet. I don't even fathom going to dialup. It would cost more money than I am paying now to get an extra line and pay for ISP service. So, "Walton's Mountain" (well, Rockfish, Va) is going backward in a technological timeline. The BPL (Broadband over Po...

	Oh Come On!

Posted by: nobyter, 7:09 PM GMT on August 23, 2011

First there was a drought, then a flood, then a quake, and soon we may have a 'cane? I think I'm going to start praying more... What's next, locusts? We just experience our first "strong" earthquake here in Virginia. It was like a big heavy truck was driving over the school. At first I heard the roar, then I felt the up and down motion, then it subsided. Just a 5.8, but the most I've felt in the last 30 years. Strongest in over 100 years in VA. Don't think I co...

	Drought to Flood!

Posted by: nobyter, 1:53 PM GMT on August 15, 2011

Okay, on Saturday, August 13th, I was walking on the river (not getting wet)hunting unusual rocks. I was yelling at the dog to stay out of stagnate pools of water that didn't look healthy. I've seen the river worse in 10 years, but it was starting to worry me. I wish I took before pictures... Then we got over 2 inches of rain and they got a lot more up river over Saturday night and this is what I saw when I went out with the dog...The first picture is the second ...
