Bible Verse Of The Day - Wednesday, 2/2/2011

Published by Lois Lame, Assistant Editor

Date:  2/2/2011
Post:  1,631

Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” – Matthew 22:37-40

When we love God with all of our heart, soul and mind, we declare that we have no other gods or idols in our life. God alone is worthy of our worship, admiration and affection. Everything and everyone else pales in comparison to this great and loving God!

This total heart, soul, and mind devotion to God encapsulates our desire to obey all of his commands. And because this loving God loves me, I overflow with love and generosity toward others. No longer do I need to control though lies, or steal from others to provide for myself. I do not spend my days wishing for that which others have. I am satisfied. I can love with God’s love.

When God is in the center of my life I can rest. And loving others as we have been loved includes declaring praises for all that God has done, through Christ, on our behalf. Praise the name of the LORD-this is the law fulfilled!

Sleet and snowfall in Hermann has lightened considerably.  But more is on its way from the west and southwest.  We are currently in a lull.  The worst is still to come this evening!

MoDOT and the Missouri Highway Patrol have just announced they are closing I-70 from the Highway 13 and Highway 65 exits to Sedalia all the way east to Wentzville.  The blizzard is causing dangerous white-out conditions in central Missouri.  And it is moving east!

Owensville weather spotter, Cletus Snow, called in during the past hour to report that the snow in Owensville has changed back over to sleet.  Cletus told us that there is a 3" mix of sleet and snow on the ground.  Cletus has pulled his 4-wheel drive pickup truck off the road, and is resting comfortably at home.

At noon on Tuesday, 2/1/2012, the snow continues to fall and fall and fall. Our trained Storm Team spotters have taken refuge indoors where they could.  It has been bitterly cold here in Hermann, and I am concerned that Charlie and Winston may have succumbed to frostbite.  They have both exhausted their supplies of brandy and Hershey's candy bars.  Their cellphone batteries have gone completely dead.  Being trained weather spotters, however, I am not overly worried.  They are both resourceful and will probably show up later.

Conditions in Hermann:  Snowing steadily, 6" new snow accumulation, winds NW 15 mph gusting to 25 mph, temperature 22 F, and "feel-like temperature" is "colder than a well-digger's ass in Alaska".

You don't want to be out in this stuff!  We are approaching near whiteout conditions!  It's a scene from "The Shining"!  Two weather spotters, Charlie and Winston, are temporarily lost!  We haven't heard from our spotters in Owensville and Canaan since about 10 a.m.!

Trained weather spotter, Cletus "Snowman" Snow, called in around 8:40 a.m. to report that heavy sleet in Owensville had turned to snow at around 8:30 a.m.  Cletus is out in his 4-wheel drive pickup truck.  Fred stayed home this morning, choosing not to get his paws wet in the snow.

Cletus mentioned driving past the offices of The Gasconade County Republican at around 7:30 a.m.  He said he saw no signs of activity in their newsroom at that time.  Apparently their weather team is sleeping in this morning.  We have a call into Managing Editor Dave Marner to see if he could use some help from Cletus.

Charlie Farquharson (Ward 1) and Winston Weatherly (Ward 2) have been on their posts all night.  They report that light snow began falling in Hermann right around 4:30 a.m. this morning.  The intensity of the snow fall remains light but seems to be increasing.  It is currently snowing here in Hermann, there is no wind and it is colder than a well digger's ass in Alaska, about 25 F we reckon.  Although the streets and highways have a light coating of snow on them, motorists seem to be moving around on them OK. We will update weather and road conditions throughout the day.

Folks, if you don't have to get out today, please remain in you cozy warm homes.  Being out on a day is a job best left to us professionals!  Charlie and Winston have been doing this winter weather spotting for many years.  They are seasoned veterans.  They know just how much brandy to drink in cold weather like this.  And they also know to wear layers of clothing, waterproof, insulated boots and a thick cap with ear muffs!  We'll let you know when it's safe to come back out!

"Roads were wet and glazing at 4 a.m. in the Canaan and Owensville areas. At 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. we are getting sleet and the roads are white but driving is fair on Hwy 28. We will be traveling to Owensville for more salt this morning and give an update at 8 or 9 a.m."

As we brace for the blizzard which is bearing down upon us tonight, I harkened back to the Great Buffalo Blizzard of 1977, also referred to by some as the "White Death".  Here is an interesting slideshow about that "mother of all blizzards".  Let us hope that the "blizzard" which we shall face on Tuesday and Wednesday is no where near as big or terrible as the one which slammed Buffalo, NY!

We are currently in a lull between storm cells.  The one which will hit our local area tomorrow will be much worse than the one which moved through our area today!

Charlie Farquharson and Winston Weatherly will be monitoring weather conditions through the night.  When the next storm hits, we will be back to report on it.  In the meantime, I will be catching up on my sleep until Charlie and Winston call me to report the leading edge of the storm front which we expect to begin pounding us in the early morning hours.

If you want to keep up with the movement of the storm into our local area, use the AccuWeather.com gadget which we have downloaded for your convenience hereinbelow and/or click on HermannMoNews to read Poor Richard's coverage.
