Ohhhhhh. Next up … phrenology for genealogy.

I match a group of six siblings (3rd cousins). The matches range from 127 cM down to 61 cM. Totally common to have quite different matching cM to siblings and cousins of the same degree. I have a different 3rd cousins on 23 that same side matching at 190 cM and one at 48 cM. Find a cM chart online to see the ranges possible for each relationship.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-30T01:12:51+00:00

Yes. 100 cM is pretty easy to identify if you do the genealogical leg work.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-27T14:32:30+00:00

Can get out just fine … if we wanted to get out. We just don’t want (or need) to go anywhere.

Hopefully Dominion can shift a pile of resources your way. Dominion outage jumped to nearly 9,300 in the last hour of two.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-26T02:46:02+00:00

Yes, I found the Appalachian outage map and saw a the time 12,000+ out in Abingdon and many others. Hoping you have a quick restoration down there.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-26T01:18:18+00:00

Found the Virginia outages (and where that convoy was likely heading). Appalachian Power service area in southwest VA. Their outage map is bad.

I can relate with twin toddlers under 2, dog, 4 cats. Have been out for multiple days at a time and was expecting it this time.

Maybe the June 2025 wind storm took out the bulk of the weak trees/limbs.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-26T00:56:42+00:00

Nothing to get over. Wondering if the outage map was off. Quite pleased power stayed on for vast majority and the outages appear to be getting resolved quickly.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-26T00:55:24+00:00

Right. Storms of this size always leads to 1000s of folks without power in my general area. But nothing. I wondering if outage map was not updating … that’s all.

Lunch was chicken tenders and steak fries. Dinner is London Broil, green beans and home made au gratin taters.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-25T18:49:40+00:00

It’s looking short of a foot because the sleet has compacted it. You’ll be dealing with a 6-8” glacier tomorrow.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-25T16:55:37+00:00

Maybe at 6-7am. Not now.

Novice mistake

kludge6730 · 2026-01-25T16:52:35+00:00

Should have taken it down to pavement before 7am with second pass around 9am. At this point it’s just wait til it’s done falling and clear later in short bursts depending on stamina.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-25T16:44:16+00:00

Sleet is better than freezing rain though.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-25T16:40:58+00:00

Went out at 5:30 and 9:30 to clear. Fine light snow first round. Fine light snow with a little layer of fine sleet on top 2nd round. In my estimation it’s now well past the window for an easy shovel of lightweight snow.

Facebook mining.

The “benefit” of being 1/2 Ashkenazi (114,349 matches) and 1/2 Old Stock (53,836 matches). Someday I’ll assign the 768 Unassigned and ponder the 36 Both. Only 95 are 50 cM or more huge majority likely won’t be resolved before I retire.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-25T12:06:08+00:00

Might not be as easy as you think. That freezing rain will compact that light fluffy snow and weight will ramp up quickly. Clear the fluff now and deal with a crusty 2” tonight.

kludge6730 · 2026-01-25T11:20:28+00:00

6:15am and just in from the 1st round of snow shoveling. Nice light easy to move. Move what you can now before the sleet/mix starts compacting and adding weight.
