Where am I? (part 2)

It's spring and I am tired of looking at pictures of snow. This mystery location may be harder to pinpoint, so I'll accept more general answers. Keep in mind, answers like "somewhere on earth" are probably too general and will be rejected.

Know your internet, storm tracker edition

Spring is here in the midwest, and that can only mean one thing...tornadoes! (OK, it actually means a lot more than that, but whatever.) Anyway, there are lots of weather sites out there; I like this one because it shows the radar loop in motion. So it not only shows any approaching storms but you can actually tell where the storm is headed. The link hones in on Omaha, but you can just put your city and state in at the top and see weather for your area.

And its from the government, so you KNOW you can trust it!

Hint...if it's hailing and dark and you hear an unusually loud roar, you probably don't need to consult this site. Otherwise, check it out.

Here I am, and here's where I've been

I am trying to figure out how to have Blogger add an automatic first line to every one of my posts. Something like "Man, I can't believe I've gone this long without posting!". That I won't have to keep typing it myself.

I went to Summit County Colorado last week for a Ski Trip with The Guys, where I met with some of my grade-school buddies and a few others for our (mostly) annual trip. A few of the guys are way better at skiing than I am (no names, you know who you are!) so it's fun to push myself once in a while trying to keep up. And I didn't die, even on the double blacks, so maybe that means I'm stronger for it. Anyway, we skiied at Vail, Beaver Creek and some of the group also went to Keystone. I took my snowshoes so I spent a couple days trudging through the forest as well.

On Saturday we found out that the 4 of us from Omaha all had our Sunday morning flights cancelled because of snow, and the earliest flights we could get on were on Monday afternoon. The good news is that the house we were staying at is owned by the parents of one of the guys, so it was no big deal to stay another day. If you have to be stranded, that's a good way to do it!
