Brian Earls, a Snowman Team member, was surprised today by a former student that chose Brian for his “Made an Impact” award. No surprise to us!

Brian will throw out the first pitch at the student’s game on April 4.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if it snows? Congratulations, Brian!!!

That was fun but Eddie and Catherine are done with this weather and, out of an abundance of caution, are heading to warmer times. And so are you!!! 80 degrees for your first day of spring break Saturday and 70s starting Thursday! It’s time!

Eddie was fixin to give a Snowman live weather update this evening. He was looking forward to it all day as he thought this could be his big break. Even put his suit on.

But then Catherine fired up the microwave for dinner and that metal plate in Eddie’s head started buzzing again. In most cases, he’ll come to in about half hour, disoriented and back to normal.

It’s a shame as he would have told you this heavy band is about done. But a secondary area of snow has formed and appears to be moving this way. Roads take forever to cool though.

As soon as Eddie heard the National Weather Service predict 2–4 inches of snow the other day, he got so excited he ran out and blew his savings on a new sled.

One of them sleds that’s… real nice.

But like most of Eddie’s big plans, that forecast turned out to be full of dirty flurries… and had to be emptied.

Snowman saw that the National Weather Service has shockingly already put out 2–4 inches for Sunday night.

Snowman is not budging and is not coming back.

However, his cousin Eddie and wife Catherine apparently had nothing better to do and have just rolled into town to fill in.

Don’t go falling in love with their RV… because they will be taking it with them when they leave next month.

A big congrats to our high school CSA Snowman collaborator who also finds the time (particularly on slow winters like this) to serve as the President of the HHS Biology Club and “HHS King of Recycling”.

As hype rumors of Sunday night models are seeping out, know this: In the five year history of the Snowman, he has NEVER left prematurely and had to be called back. Never. He is home relaxing.

Note: making this statement now but it would be totally appropriate in this odd winter for this situation to be odd too! 🤣
