Techno Tom Champion remix

A local writer/blogger seems to have created a remix of the Somerville snow emergency call.

Weather Nota Bene

[http://users.livejournal.com/_mattt/]

Buried in the NWS Winter Storm Warning was the following:

BY EARLY AFTERNOON SNOW WILL HAVE ACCUMULATED 4 TO 7 INCHES ACROSS THE WARNING AREA. HOWEVER... WARMER AIR MOVING IN OFF THE OCEAN AND ALOFT SHOULD CHANGE THE PRECIPITATION TO PLAIN RAIN BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. A BRIEF PERIOD OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WITH A LIGHT ACCUMULATION OF ICE IS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE CHANGE OVER TO ALL RAIN. THE EVENING RUSH HOUR MAY BE QUITE MESSY WITH RAIN FALLING ON TOP OF SNOW CLOGGED STORM DRAINS... WHICH MAY RESULT IN SOME URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING.

I should complain about the City not clearing the storm drains, but with so much snow hard frozen in the streets, I don't see how this was ever possible. So in short, be prepared for wet shoes.

I feel I have little basis to complain about impending street flooding. I did notice they built a wind turbine in Medford by the Meadow Glenn "Mall". This windmill is visible from parts of Davis Sq. As such, I think I am going to start a protest against it. I haven't thought of a reason to protest it yet, but perhaps people will be willing to work with me on this.

My Scarf

Thanks to whoever must have seen me drop my scarf when getting out of my truck yesterday after parking on Holland St.

They wrapped it around my mirror and I got it this morning. Yay for Davis Square hospitality.

Is 69 Victoria the smallest freestanding house in Somerville, or what?

Seeking a church

[toodleskitty.livejournal.com]

I checked the Tags and didn't find churches mentioned...

My nephew is 19 and living in Somerville. He is a Christian and the son of a pastor. He's looking for a church in the Somerville/Cambridge/Boston areas. He is most familiar with the Assembly of God churches.

I can't help him out because I am only familiar with Unitarian Universalist and Episcopal churches. I don't recommend any of the ones I've attended.

He's also looking for a church that will have peeps his own age.


Thanking you in advance,
Abbey
