We've gotten a foot so far and still falling.

Today has a totally different feel than most work days. I still have 40 minutes before I gotta go. Kinda sorta an artsy pic to give you the idea.

Starting to tire of this "weather limbo" we've been in of late. One day hot enough to turn on the A/C and before the day is out back to the furnace. Then mix in sun and rain. Guess it could be worse, we could be getting snowstorms. Still it would be nice for a few weeks of pleasant weather before the oppressive heat of summer hits.

When I let Miss Daisy out while ago, I could see patches of blue sky scattered among the clouds :icon_eek:

Power went out again last night. Power company website says restored by tonight. We'll see.

Got candles?

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Thursday and it is a bit overcast with some directional light with slight shadows hitting Gary's small patch of Earth. 76F should be the high for today. Miss Maggie has been fed her breakfast of banana and yogurt. Gary is wrapping up his first cup of coffee and finished up his emails and morning chores. Soon, he, Mary Lou and Maggie will be on the road. It is Maggie's job to inspect the neighborhood, making sure all is in order. Last night's dinner was delicious. It has been awhile since Gary broke out the Kamado and it was all worth the effort. Nothing like a touch of wood flavoring in one's steaks, a bit of vino and a fresh salad from the yard with some leftover rice ... makes the trials of the day diminish into the past and makes life worth living.

I feel your pain. Both the wife and I have ranted about that for the past few years, and it seems to be getting worse. I had two instances earlier this year with snow. I was hit by a huge piece of snow flying off an SUV and nearly had a piece as large as my hood hit me from a tractor trailer. :mad-44:

I got an hour and 6 minutes today.
Tony will swap with me for possible jury duty on the 19th. Went to Cleveland again to order parts for the mower. But he took a different number with him, was gone for maybe 5 minutes and came out with everything I needed and got out of there for 12 bucks and change. The dogs have a habit of chewing on the sprayers for the aerobic system. McCoys had a metal one.
Should last almost forever. Waiting to hear if we are going to deliver a couch today or wait until Saturday. My Sister needs the money for one of the bills. On yeah, life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone.

Hope all of you on the east coast are hanging in there. Hate to hear your power went out again Leo, your area seems to be really getting slammed with this.

Was supposed to flurry but has been mostly just cloudy here, a bit of a dusting along the edges of the yard. Tomorrow it's supposed to be scattered clouds, and the next day partly cloudy (which maybe means also partly sunny! lol), and the next day overcast - yes it's March.

It is illegal here to not clear off all the snow including from the roof even if you have a luggage rack you have to climb up there and clean it. They WILL ticket you if you don't.

We got about 6" of wet heavy snow. Beauty did a fine job.

JonA_CT · Mar 8, 2018

We got about 4 inches. We ended up with about 4 inches. 20 miles to our west received a foot or more, and that snow fell in 5 hours, which is nuts.

Outage map...where did that heavy snow hit?

It’s going to be days for them to get their power out. The town I used to work in has roads closed in 75 different places because of downed trees. Those have to go before they can get the power trucks in.
