Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

quiet day except for yelling at Fedex truck that was trying to deliver my neighbor's packages to me.
2 guys in the truck, acted like his first day; then he was about to leave my neighbor's package out at the end of the lane, not by the front door,
and I said you can't leave that there, it will be stolen. He didn't and went and found the right house I hope.
Guy was parked in driveway next to me, at least he got that right, and I could hear boxes getting thrown around inside.
Not likely employee of the year material.

snow never materialized though it's a little icy out now but still above freezing.

That looks purty, Ted. But glad it is yours.

I am just glad we don't get moisture levels like you get.....
If I am correct, 1" of rain equals 12" of snow.... your rainfall total would amount to somewhere around 110" of snow....:shocked:

I would like to get about half of your average rainfall.... it would sure green up here....

Mostly, glad you enjoyed the fire.

My son got a letter from work saying he was essential and could be in the 1c group for vaccine.

Yucky weather day, overcast and misting all day, just over freezing after 11 am. Foggy tomorrow.

23 right now and light snow...about 2-3 inches of added accumulation so far. High in the low 30's today

Woke up to pee...too late to go back to bed for another 45 minutes (alarm goes off at 0315). Plugged in the tractor block heater and I'll go out in an hour...

Poured first cup of coffee. 17° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 25° with a mix of sun and clouds. Snow did come yesterday. About 3" heavy wet stuff. Got tractor our and plowed it off drive and walkways. Sassy jumped over a small drift into about 8" collection of snow. All I could see was nose and tail. She managed to make it back to plowed area before I got to her. Did not go into deep snow rest of the day when let out. Since I was out a dressed for the cold. I put up a rack to store plastic pipe. Got about 1/2 of my supply of pipe and conduit put up on it. Will save rest of the project for warmer weather. Will make that Menard trip today. No other plans.

Scrambler, hope your wife test is negative and surgery goes well.

LS, your place looks great with all the snow.

David, that's a lot of rain.

RNG, good U-tube video. But who do you believe. :confused3:

Eric, your vaccine story sounds like some of the stories at the county places here for vaccination.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

 

[Eric Salop]

Good morning, snow is about all gone, without the frost fields are back to a sloppy mess.

Nice snow pic LS, especially with the tire tracks curving into the distance.

Saw a scary graph yesterday that shows just how fast people have been dying of Covid-19 in the UK over the last few months. The chance of dying from this virus is now over 50 times higher than it would be of dying in a car accident in a normal year. With those odds wearing a seat belt is almost pointless for anyone going out and meeting other people.



We also live like hermits, I don't intend driving any further than the end of our track this afternoon to take down a rotten hawthorn. If I die today my death certificate is more likely to list a chainsaw than a virus.

 

[Buppies]

4e high of 48 very foggy supposed to snow tonight inch or so then high in 30s

Several small mud slides one took out car wash nice size one too

Eastern NC may get up to four in of snow

Prayers for all

Prayers for our Country

Sadly it is a busy time to be an undertaker.

I'm trying to visit my old partner in the real estate/insurance business we owned together here in town.
He is home with fully expected COPD from a lifetime of 2+packs a day. And his wife who is a dear sweet woman is not doing well.
Needless to say I'll wait until I get vaccinated to go see them. They have both tested positive for Covid, likely from his trips to the local Diner, same one
we have been going to since the 50's here, and that still has french fries and brown gravy on the menu.
I'm afraid my old friends aren't going to make it if I wait too long. But I'm not going anywhere near them until a month after my second shot.

Eric, sorry the numbers aren't looking good there. Be careful. Fine time to be a hermit. Hopefully by this summer restrictions will be lifted.
