Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all
31 going up to 36 today in fair weather.
friends in Ft Myer told me about five tornadoes that touched down nearby from that last storm, some good youtube video on that.

I need to do laundry and finish packing today. I see snow expected for Thursday morning, hope my ride to train doesn't chicken out.

finished prep to my big zoom meeting Wed night. About 70 invites going out, no idea how many will attend, first time I've been a moderator
on zoom managing the little yellow hands raised, etc. Now to try to stay within allotted times. Once that is done, I will be happy to get out of town on Thursday.

My neck is doing better. Still using a soft collar occasionally but was able to avoid pain pills and just use arthritis meds. Took a while but it eased off.

Hope you all have a good day.

Kyle_in_Tex said, "Sometimes, I have to remind myself to put my solipsism on the shelf. My wife reminds me plenty too."

OK, I don't recall ever hearing of that word "solipsism" before, so I had to look it up to see what it meant.

First cup of coffee has been poured. 24° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 34° with cloudy skies. Took me a few hours to warm up from the burn pile move. It was a good day for that type of project. But glad it is done. Going to stay in today. Give Sassy a bath and other house projects. Scan some more photos.
Squirrels have figured out how to get into open feeder.

Kyle, my neighbor did take 4 slabs off one of the logs last year. Made end table for his patio. Other end of log had lots of rot and carpenter ant damage.

Don, nice trail pictures.

PJ, sorry about friend passing. Great Obit.

RNG, hope new rotors and calipers fix your truck brake problems.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

Roy, I'll bet the driveway is under the snow, somewhere.
If you don't put sand/salt mix down then if you run on the lawn a bit, it shouldn't matter.
As for tobacco and papers, I have papers here but they are for another purpose. I get my tailor made smokes by the carton and am 9 cartons ahead of myself. 200 smokes in a carton.

Yeah, I'll find most of it...first year or two we lived here, I didn't use driveway markers so snow blowing part of the lawn won't be a first. We only salt the walks and right in front of the garage doors...regular ice melt salt in front of the garage and pet safe on the walks.

Other then rare occasions, I haven't purchased cigarettes in 10 years or more...as far as the "other purpose", probably not in 25 years (if the "other purpose" is what I think it is).

I actually prefer to clear snow when it's dark and I'd start now, but our new puppy barks at anything in the drive and I don't want her barking to wake up the women in the household

Couple pics from yesterday

If you look upper center, you'll see a street sign on two upright posts. That post is about 10' this side of the end of our front lawn

Good morning

24° now high around 32°, NW winds 15 to 20 with gusts to 40 mostly sunny.

Yesterday’s 4” of snow/sleet/rain ended as 2” of slush. Fortunately temps went up to 40° and the sun came out. Pushed all the slop down the driveway and cleared a channel down the roadside for the run off. By late afternoon the paved part was dry. The gravel back driveway I just let the tractor tire tracks freeze up.

Off to get some grocery’s and then conserve energy for the rest of the day.

Prayers for those who have lost friends and family and are dealing with illness.

Morning all! 17 going to only 21 today.
We got about 8 inches of snow before the rains came pouring down. I tried to get it cleaned up before that as it was already to heavy to shovel! Thank god I have a cab! At the apartment house the walk behind blower just clogged and clogged. Luckily the riding mower blower blew it all out like a champ. I think it could pump water if I needed it to. Forecast was for freezing temps overnight so I got everything cleaned as best as possible. Looking out the window this morning the driveway seems ok. Will throw some sand on it later as we have a repairman coming to look at our new oven that won't go to correct temperature.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

27 going to 44. Plenty of snow/ice on ground, but think much will melt today.

Don, congrats on that nice trail hike...knee work is paying rewards.

Roy, looks like you need a snow blower just to get to your tractor snow blower. Real pretty.

Roasted coffee yesterday and paid bills. Hope to split firewood today, and maybe a hike.
