Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Ernie]

High of 20º for the next two days. Still light snow, may have to sit on the snowblower this afternoon.

[Hatchdog]

31 with a bit of a storm. We got a couple of inches of snow overnight and now there is freezing rain falling on top of it. Still sitting here in my comfys in front of the fire so no idea how the conditions are out there. I did see on the local news this morning the streets in Spokane and I’m very happy I’m not traveling on them. Looked to be a sheet of ice. High in the low 30’s so not much melt off for us here in the Deer Park area. Spokane should see 36 so hopefully some melting on those slick roads.

I’ve started my annual January “gotta move out of this winter” looking around. Came up with a new idea this year. I know a couple of people that have bought snowbird homes in Southern California away from the big cities. So I figured I’d sell this place and all the equipment needed here and downsize moving back into the suburbs of Spokane. Then take the proceeds from here and from selling our property up north and invest it in a snowbird home in So Cal. We have family and friends down there so California is more logical than say Arizona for us.

Sounds great until I look at prices.

Branson is a basic 24hp tractor and known for being tough. I also have a 24hp Kubota. The big difference is the Kubota has cup holders.

Your Kubota has cup holders? I had to add one to mine. I'm jealous.

Carol's belated Christmas Dinner yesterday was a great success. We seated nine adults and one 12 year old
at the table with all the China and Silver. Roast beast with all the trimmings and two deserts. I ate quite well.

Eat your heart out! It even has a place for my cell phone.

Hey now .... for some of us cup holders can be a deal breaker

well, the sun came up this morning so another year is underway .... 58 at 1PM under a mostly cloudy sky .... no mention of rain in today's forecast but tomorrow is supposed to be pretty much of a washout .... out temp is to get up to 61 before dropping back to an overnight low of 41 .... first up this morning repairing a kitchen cabinet hinge at our daughter's place ..... thankfully turned out to be a pretty simple fix ..... after that hauled off our trash and recycling .... on the way back stopped by Walmart for food and meds .... long line at our trash collection stop, guess a lot of folks are paying attention for tomorrow's rainy forecast .... now back home getting ready to watch some college football games

[Mags]

39' and misting. Maybe 50' later.

Oh my Lord. The inhumanity of it all. I had to add one of those as well. That's just not fair.

Yeah, but i have something he doesn't, a cab with A/C and a great heater.

I would have had to sell my other kidney for the cab and A/C.

Light snow flurries this morning.
Carol always overdoes the Christmas treats so the house is still full of'
cookies, candies, Turtle Cheesecake, ect. so What will I have with coffee
this morning? Hhhmmmm.

[Sir Henry]

9F and snowing lightly. We have been getting a half to a full inch everyday. Not enough that you would say it snowed yet those flurries everyday are building up. What’s worse (better) is those flurries drift.

Retired life is good here in the winter because my only job is to keep my place plowed and shoveled.

[JEBar]

our weather words for today should be light rain .... actually an even better word is probably misty .... 40 damp/cold degrees at 10:30AM .... forecasted high 43 with an overnight low of 31 .... knowing the rainy/cold was coming we took care of things yesterday that would take us away from home today .... thankfully our weather forecast for the next week is much better

So many wants and needs and so few kidneys.


34 this morning and foggy/misty. More rain or wet snow coming in today. High in the 30’s. Wet on and off for the next several days with no snow accumulation expected but the mountains should get some nice snowfall. Then starting mid week we may see some dry weather with colder temps. If so, I may start burning my piles of limbs as that is perfect weather for it. Lots of wet snowy brush to extinguish flying embers but no rain on my head.


Here’s my “I am starting to hate winter face”

I got a wild hair and starting looking into the logistics of selling our place, moving to a cheaper home and investing the proceeds into a winter home in the lower desert of California. (Not going to happen but it’s fun to research). Now I can’t get this song out of my head.

43' and wet all over. Currently not raining. Maybe 51 later with rain. Probably work on potholes in the road some while it's not raining. Some have gotten very deep.

The snow and cold keeps the rift-raf out.

Call me a rift-far and keep me out!

38 damp degrees this morning. We had some hard rain overnight but surprisingly we still have some snow on the ground. Cold rainy days today but it’s supposed to start drying up tomorrow.

Really interesting Seattle v San Francisco football game last night. Seattle’s defense was incredible but the offense left a lot of points on the field. They did just enough to win and are both the division champions and the number one seed and will have the bye next week.

In addition the Gonzaga basketball team won by a whisker in overtime Friday night. I’m getting too old for all these heart stopping sporting events. Gonzaga plays again tonight and I sure hope they win be their normal landslide.

[Ernie]

Supposed to warm up just enough for the current snow to start to melt and make way for the next clean batch

[Mags]

46' and cloudy dark. Maybe 49' with rain later.
