Good morning!!!!

[riptides]

37 outside this AM. Looks foggy, hard to tell. Heading to mid 40's.

Could use some sunshine. Like the rest of the world.

Hope all have a great day today. Be safe and stay healthy my friends.

Eastern NC may get up to four in of snow

that means the 7 inches they predict here over two full days of snowing is for real. Sunday afternoon into Monday and even Tuesday.
looks like the snowblower is going to earn its keep.

Gentlemen, prepare your engines.

This has NOTHING to do with tractors.:laughing:
This is a nice video of the American boat sailing in the America's cup races down in New Zealand. The boat had a bad accident last week and this is the first time back after being rebuilt. Pretty spectacular! Nice distraction from our troubles.

41 and foggy wet, going to 46 and something...seems they don't know if snow.

Eric, not sure I understand that footnote on the graph...does it mean that if someone died of anything they are counted, since they had a positive test as much as 4 weeks previously? There has been much confusion in the recording of cause of death here...but sadly, too many people, in any case, have died since this flu arrived.

Ron, I wish we had some squirrels colored like yours here. All of ours are gray, so when they swarm the feeders, like yesterday, can't tell them apart. We've only seen a brownish squirrel here once, a fox squirrel...and we've seen a flying squirrel that used to live in one of our bluebird boxes.

Plans for today...Snow storm should be ending around 9-10 am than I clean roofs paths etc. afternoon plow driveway etc.,other than that :confused3:

Enjoy the day all.

Chris, that's wild to watch, when does a boat become a plane?

small town, turns out it was my old partner's son driving the fire truck that goes past my house:

We, me driving mostly, are running old tanker 46, out of station 64,
the 3,000 Gallon Pierce. Not sure which motor, but it moves!!
We are still buying Pierce, except for the 4guys, 4200 gallon tanker
on a Kenworth chassis!! BAD ***!!
So, yes, last Friday morning at 3:16AM, I woke you up!

I have to add here for context.
For many years, Midway Fire Company, in Lahaska, next town to our volunteer fire district with
their own company, well those guys knew they needed a new tanker, none of us have hydrants, so
they bought one of the coolest custom tankers on either a Kenworth or Peterbilt chassis and whatever was the largest possible
motor you could stuff in there. It was their pride and joy and got attention wherever it went.
So it looks like after all these years little New Hope gets to have their own custom high power tanker too.
After I left they got their first ladder truck, almost glad I didn't have to learn how to drive that.
Let's just say the community is super supportive of the local fire companies and they don't have to fund raise any more.
My memories of calling bingo every Wednesday night for seven years not withstanding.

wngsprd looks to me like dusting to one inch for you tonight, this weekend hard to say but could be a lot. Models have a hard time handling LaNina Good source for you wxrisk facebook. He is Richmond based he is good medium to long range forecaster other parts not so much, goes into a lot of detail and explains what it means

Good morning, low temp 3°F and the high 10. Wind calm. 30% chance of flurries.

The sky dropped an inch over the past 3 days. Not enough to plow.

An energy conservation day, tomorrow will be the monthly trip to NB. I am the driver and don't get out of the vehicle at any of the stops, not even when I get gas. They pump, I pay.

Went to bed at midnight and got up at 6. Now I am back on my regular schedule.


Have a safe day all

Eastern NC that was for tonight have not looked at weekend down there yet

Morning to all,
Wifes car cleaned off and she is off to work about 4" of snow on the ground.
Still lightly flurrying supposed to reach 32-33 degrees F today before the big cool down for Thursday night and the weekend, calling for sub zeros.
Finishing my second cup of coffee and then time to get going.
New refrigerator supposed to be delivered today, that may be an interesting experience.
Delivery truck will not be able to make the driveway so will have to meet them with the pickup or tractor and unload on the road
to bring to the house.
Even plowed and sanded no way a 2wd drive will make the hill.
As far as the covid vaccination my wife has had her first, and I'm "on the list" at the VA, so maybe sometime this year.
