36 degrees, sunny, and breezy this morning. It’s been a breezy and chilly day but lots of sunshine.
Even though it was cool and windy this morning I washed the car since it was covered in salt from last Tuesday’s light snow event. With the car pulled out I swept the garage floor and tidied up a bit out there and swept the front porch that had a dozen or so dead lady bugs.

My friend Tina drove over from Pilot Mt. arriving around 12:30. We went to lunch in town then came home and visited for awhile. She left a few minutes ago.  I need to put a load of clothes in to wash next.

18 degrees, breezy, and partly cloudy. The heating and air folks showed up about 8:15 to do the six month routine checkup. All is well. I had odds and end household chores to do while waiting on Alleghany Cares to show up around 11:30.

They picked up the old wall oven and several pieces of furniture that belonged to Bob’s mom that I do not need after we did the remodeling downstairs.

Today’s highs maybe making it to 40 but clouds and a breeze making it feel pretty chilly outside.

15 degrees and sunny this morning when I left for the gym. Grocery store stop on the way home. I had lunch today with two ladies I know from the gym. We met at the Wellness center and went in  one car to Independence, VA to eat at Roots. It’s only about 20 minutes from town to Independence.

A beautiful day but still cold. Temperatures will top out at about 34 degrees for today but thankfully, no wind. Not as cold tonight. Low of around 18 and clear skies.

I am reading Six Cats A Slayin’ by Miranda James.

30 degrees with snow showers this morning.

When I left to volunteer at the bookstore the roads were slushy but no problem. Not even enough snow on the ground to cover the grass. The sun came out around noon but temperatures are falling all afternoon from a current 25 down to 10 by tonight with 20 to 30 mph winds gusting to over 40.

41 degrees with partly sunny skies and a breeze when I left for the gym this morning, home, then back to work.

A beautiful day with temperatures in the low 60’s and partly cloudy skies. And, like last week, we are going from a high of 61 today to a low of 29 tonight. Right now the forecast is for the rain this evening to turn to snow later and last through tomorrow with 45 mph wind gusts.

House cleaning chores, change and wash the sheets, and do a load of towels for today.

23 degrees and sunny when I left for Winston this morning to do a Costco run. I was out of stock on cereal and other daily food items. I left at 8:15, to get down the mountain and back up before afternoon traffic picked up in town and on the road, making it back here around noon.

Sunny but chilly again today. Time to get started on the laundry while I put away the food.

The clouds started rolling in around noon. A light rain has been falling since mid afternoon.  Temperatures tonight are to be in the mid 20’s. Depending on when the rain gets out of here it may change to snow flurries.
