28°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 45° today. May be in the mid 50s by Thursday.
We had snow flurries pretty much all weekend here. Very little of its stuck, just a little of the overnight stuff, but never more than a dusting that was gone as soon as the temps went up with the sunrise. Drove into Highland Sunday morning to pick up some stuff for The Wife, and there was a pretty heavy snow falling there.
Spent much of Saturday either puttering around inside the house or in the studio. Wife spent most of hers working on a quilt project she'd started years ago, then put aside in frustration. It's one of those 3D designs, and I can see why it drove her bonkers. She's determined to get it done now.
Got the upstairs bathroom sink drain cleaned Sunday. Tough living in such a hairy house (3 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 long-haired humans). Pulled out some big globs of hair and goo with one of those barbed plastic clog-pulling tools. Need to do that more frequently, apparently. Spent a little time at the garage workbench building a footrest for The Wife to use under her sewing machine, so she can sit a little higher at the machine. Found some suitable lumber hiding in the barn. Got to play with the miter saw, the table saw, and a couple of drills. The battery died on the DeWalt drill after the first two screws, and I still haven't replaced the other dead one, so I finished with my old B&D corded drill. Added rubber feet to keep it in place. Not as classy as some of the other projects here, but functional ... and most importantly, The Wife was pleased.

The heater in my LS cab is like that, too, Roy. It'll cook you right out of it, especially with heavy clothes. You're going to get spoiled and wonder how you ever made it without a heated cab.
Even as late as the '70s and '80s, we didn't get much in the way of "snow days" where I went to school. I remember being sent home early one day from grade school in the early '70s because a big ice storm was coming. Other than that, we had four days off in '82 after the predicted 4-6" turned out to be 28" by the next morning. These days, seems like they cancel school if it gets too cloudy.
