It's warmer this morning 23°. Yesterday was mostly sunny and windy, the high was in the mid 30's. Looks like today is going to be in the low 40's partly cloudy and the wind 10-15 mph.

The wind was blowing to hard to set in the sun and practice my welding yesterday. I did get some stuff organized in the garage that have I've been putting off doing for some time.

If the wind isn't bad today I'll try doing some welding. The neighbor called last night and needs some help moving a few things around. I'll go up about noon and help him.

Hope everyone has a good start to the week.
CWB.

Good morning all,

30 degrees this morning and snowing lightly. Not really sure what the forecast is.

Prayers for those in need.

44°F here this morning and overcast. Forecast says 65°F this afternoon and rains starting this evening.

Heading out to horse pasture, this morning, to see if I can finish mowing there before more rain comes later.

Randy, your Kubota Dealer parts department can probably give you the correct Oregon Gator Mulching Blade p/n. Most are very used to complaints about crappy OEM blades.

If you have the Kubota OEM blade p/n, it's pretty easy to cross reference to the Oregon. I've found best prices for Gator Blades have been on eBay. I just bought a new set of 3 blades,for my 72" deck, for $48 with free shipping. Ordered on Tuesday ...... received on Friday.

Hoping everyone has an excellent week.

Prayers to all.

Good morning to all! Low of 29, going up to 48. What remains of the snow should melt off. Temps slowly increasing throughout the week, topping of near 60. No precip until next Saturday. The southern part of the state may hit 80. You guys in Tx will be getting very warm too!

Drew, good luck selling the mower. That's a really good price. Maybe your timing is right and one of the commercial guys need one. The flowers look nice. We had brought some hyacinth bulbs in for the winter. They have all bloomed already inside, too cold to go outside when they first popped up....

Hopefully you guys in the East / NE don't get any damage from the wind.

RNG, that's a lot of rain in a short period, no wonder there's flash flood warnings. Do you normally get rain like that?

Little tweets all over, they are sizing up the area for their nests. They are tearing through the seed feeders. We timed the " full to empty" of one of the feeders....16 minutes.. The whole flock came in!

Maybe some errands today...maybe not. No other plans.

Everyone have a great start to the week! Prayers sent.

RNG, that's a lot of rain in a short period, no wonder there's flash flood warnings. Do you normally get rain like that?.

What's normal? Two years ago, a series of Pacific storms like this led to the spillway fiasco at the Oroville Dam. They say they're ready this time around, and perhaps they'll get to test it. It is very normal for a front to move through and drop an inch or two. But when David leaves the door open :laughing:, a Pineapple Express, or atmospheric river as the "metpros" like to call them, can dump a whole lot more. I read somewhere that good water years on the west coast are most often attributable to atmospheric river events; sometimes it only takes one to make the difference between drought and no rationing. The problem we have now is that the cold storms of the last few weeks put a lot of snow onto the mountains. The warm air associated with the "Express" puts rain on those same peaks, so the runoff is greatly increased as the rain melts the snow. And to top it all off, in fire ravaged areas, a hard crust is left behind that prevents the water from soaking in, so more of the rain runs off. I think that's what's driving the flash flood warnings right now.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!

Today’s high temperature 33ºF occurred at midnight. Fortunately for my sleep the higher wind gusts held off until sunrise and the wind has been cranking up ever since. The wind did not wake me, but Mr Knee did; probably complaining about the tight pressure gradient moving overhead. 1” of fresh snow. I’ll probably be seeing Lake Effect Snowshowers for the next two days as this exiting weather system continues to bomb off the ME coast. I’ll be surprised if temps rise above the mid 20ºF’s until Thursday. A dry clipper system mid week and a possible wintry mix weekend storm similar to most of the other winter storms that have impacted on SW NE.

Drew- Good luck selling your mower.

Rich- Good luck with your training sessions.

…. Lots of noise about weather system next week but think it will be north of here or another ghost- Buppies. This has been the Winter of weather model ghosts, inland runners, MidAtlantic sliders and lots of misdirected clipper systems. This storm you mentioned as currently modeled looks almost like a developing nor’easter. An unused weather term this Season. We’ll see. It probably will end up as another clipper.:(

…. The liquor works a lot better than ibuprofen for sore back muscles.- RNG. I assume medicinal strength = 4 fingers?;) I hope your complaining muscle groups were satisfied.

Phil- I wish you a safe return trip home and back to the land of wind, ice, and snow. Possible Lake Effect Snow squalls all the way to the Worcester high terrain.

All you using grills, barbecuing, and smokers are killing me. As soon as the ice and snow on the deck melts I'll be out there. It's been 8 weeks since my Big Green Egg has seen fire.

My + wishes, thoughts, ad prayers.
