Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[JEBar]

I'm too out of shape to shovel snow.

AMEN !!!!!


after hitting a high of 52 earlier this afternoon our temp has dropped to 45 at 6:45PM ..... after 3 straight subfreezing nights, our low is forecasted to drop to 36 .... even though they say our overnight temps tonight will not fall below freezing, they forecast a coating of ice is likely .... this morning Maureen had her final physical therapy session .... she's worked hard and has met or exceeded every goal in working her way back from knee replacement ..... she still has areas that she wants to improve and with her determination, I have no doubt that she will do so .... we had to call our local RV repairman and have him take care of some issues with our camper's underbelly material .... a few years ago I took care of such repairs but the day of me crawling around under our camper a history ...

Low sixties tonight and mid seventies tomorrow. The good news is Monday is my last radiation treatment. After that I hope my chest will stop being so red after a few weeks.

The low last night was -9F. It’s currently 33F in the shop and getting warmer. It needs to be 65 at 5 pm for cards.

Is the wood stove the only source of heat in the shop?

Not summer here either but 98.5 at 6pm can’t be pleasant.

30 now with a couple of inches of snow expected this morning. High will probably be in the mid 30’s. A big what the weather geeks call an atmospheric river is heading our way. Lots of rain expected as this “river” will bring a warm up with it. Hopefully it will stay cold enough in the mountains to stay snow.

Not much on tap for today other than the Gonzaga Bulldog’s men’s basketball team playing the Kentucky Wildcats at 4:00pm out time. Should be a great game as both teams are in the top 20.

over time the reliability of our area's weather forecasting has shown considerable improvement but this morning hearkens back to days of not too long ago .... around here ice and/or snow is pretty rare and when its in the forecast, lots of folks go nuts .... yesterday they called for ice/snow this morning and as we've come to expect, our schools delayed opening for 2 hours and the DOT salted the bridges .... well, some ice/snow fell up near the Virginia state line but with our temps hovering around 39 degrees all we go is a light, cold rain .... our biggest local TV station must have close to 10 reporters running the roads with traffic reports ..... 39 at 9:30, our high today is predicted to be 41, tonight's low 34

Yes although the propane range/oven puts off a lot of heat too when in use. It got up to 73F inside last night. I’m going to Madison on Sunday for three days. The gang wants to watch the Packer/Bears game in the shop while I’m gone. It’s the neighborhood hangout.

[Sir Henry]

We received 3” then 4” of snow about ten days ago. Then at night we get a half to a full inch of snow. Not very much but those half inch snowfalls are adding up. It’s currently 11F and snowing.

Well winter is here in Central Va. this morning! Good day to catch up on more reloading!

[graywolf]

Pretty picture. No snow here but another rainy day. High in 40's. Not complaining, we need the rain.

[Mags]

We have a 'pineapple express' blowing in from the SW originating from the tropics.
42' raining with some wind. Maybe 57' later. Rest of this week, daytime/nighttime temps, upper 50's to low 50's.

You get used to it, but considering early in the week max temp wasnt getting out of the 50's a bit of a shock to the system.
Have gone from the heater on Tuesday morning when it was 34 to the air-conditioning running flat out Friday when our official maximum was 103.

[Vaquero]

Good morning, 35° now, 45 later.

44 this morning and probably not getting past 50 today. Spotty showers predicted. Sitting here drinking my tea listening for a gun shot. Granddaughter first morning in deer blind behind my house.

[Vaquero]

Good luck to the granddaughter, graywolf.

34 now and it won’t get out of the 30’s again today. Haven’t seen 40 for several days but haven’t seen 20 either thankfully. We had a pretty heavy snow storm yesterday but is was pretty wet and didn’t amount to much accumulation. My brother just happened to be here in Deer Park yesterday and he commented to me about the snow. He lives in Spokane which gets lots of snow but not like here. Wet for the next several days but Mags Pineapple Express will head here after it leaves his place.

My son is coming over this morning to help me knock out a temporary wood storage rack. I don’t have enough firewood to get thru the season so I bought a half ton of presto logs to supplement. I don’t want to store them out in my wood shed, I think they may absorb moisture. So we’ll put the rack in the garage. Here’s a pic of the one he built for his place, I won’t be painting the blocks or burning the wood like he did.

36 at 10AM with a predicted high reaching 45 before dropping back to an overnight low of 28 .... mostly cloudy/dreary with nothing related to weather would lead someone to want to get out and about today .... we plan to camp with our club this coming long weekend .... if they prove to be correct its going to be a bit warmer (bit meaning only a few degrees) ..... this will be our last club outing until sometime next spring
