Sunny today after a few snow showers this morning. It was 18 this morning and warmed up into the upper 20’s but it’s breezy.

Frances and Al came up last evening getting here just after 6 pm. This morning we lazed around the house. This afternoon we drove over to Independence, VA to check out a newly opened grocery store that I have heard so much about. It is a very nice store. We found things in stock there that they had not been able to find at their stores in Winston and I could not find here at Food Lion or even Wal-Mart in Galax, VA. Prices were fairly reasonable as well.

We had about an inch of rain all told. Cloudy and windy today with 40 mph gusts. We started out at around 55 degrees this morning but temperatures will continue to fall this afternoon and evening taking us back down into the teens for tonight. We may get a snow flurry or two but nothing major. The big ice\snow storm is going north of us. The rain has washed away most of the snow from the storm three weeks ago.

I worked at the bookstore this morning. This afternoon I have a few things to including the laundry.

Warm with temps in the upper 40’s and rain/drizzle all day long but still a lot of snow lying around. It’s supposed to rain all night maybe heavier than it was today. The winds are starting to gust rattling the shutters and rafters.

I worked at the bookstore all day again today. We were moderately busy this morning but things picked up late this afternoon. We ended up in the $50 range for sales which is another good day for this time of year.

In between sales we had several large donations that needed dealt with and some other odds and end store chores that needed tended to.

Cloudy and chilly today with temps in the low 40’s and breezy. Thankfully we just have rain coming in tonight and temperatures will actually go up over night. We still have a lot of snow lying around the rain may wash away. Hopefully all the salt will be washed off the roads.

I worked at the bookstore today. It was busy this morning but not as much this afternoon. We still had a pretty good day with sales close to $50.

Sunny and mild today with a breeze and temperatures in the upper 30’s.

JoAnne stopped by this morning for a quick visit. After she left I drove over to Galax, VA to Wal-Mart. I had a list of pantry items I had not been able to find at Food Lion plus a couple of non-food items to look for.

I found most of what was on the list though several items were not in stock. Lots of aisles were well stocked pretty well; others not so much. I also picked up a few items not on the list to grab while they were available.

Warm and sunny today with calm winds and temperatures in the upper 30’s. Still lots of snow lying around the shady areas. Half my yard is still covered and of course the piles along the driveway are still there where James plowed.

I went to the gym this morning then stopped at the drugstore. Food Lion is across the street so decided to stop in there to check on lettuce supplies. I hit it just right,. They were just putting out a new shipment of the brand I like and a mixture I will eat. Picked up some milk and another Panera potato soup.

Messing around with odds and ends projects this afternoon.

It was 13 degrees this morning but will warm up into the low 30’s with partly cloudy skies and winds of 5 to 15 mph.

I did the usual house cleaning chores along with a couple of odds and ends cleaning projects on my to-do list. Otherwise, not much else going on this afternoon.

Sunny today but wicked cold. Temperatures in the mid teens with wind chills as low as 10 below zero. We are under wind chill advisory until 7 am Sunday morning.

Snow is blowing all over the place. The roads are icy from the snow that fell last night and froze then covered by blowing snow. Thankfully, we only had an inch.

Obviously we did not open the bookstore today. No reason for folks to get out today unless its necessary; including us.

So, just hanging around doing the laundry and other odds and ends.

Cloudy with temps in the mid 30’s and breezy.

I worked at the bookstore today. The snow showers started around 12:30 and lasted off and on until around 3 when it started snowing hard. We are forecast to only get 1 to 4 inches depending on how fast the system moves out of here. Most of the snow is supposed to fall tonight through tomorrow morning. It’s sticking to the ground now but the roads are still too warm for it to be a problem.

We were moderately busy off and on most of the day with a good number of sales. They were small in amounts but we ended the day with sales over $40 which was good for the weather.

Sunny and bit warmer today with highs in the mod 30’s and not as windy.

I went to the gym this morning then stopped at the library to return and pick up books. Stopped at the grocery store to check to see if they received a shipment of my lettuce. No lettuce at all on the shelves.

This afternoon I have a couple of odds and ends to work on. Otherwise, not much else going on here.
