I am reading Slipknot by Linda Greenlaw, the first book in her mystery series. I discovered she is writing this series after reading The Lobster Chronicles last week.
The winds really howled last night. It was 33 degrees, sunny, and windy this morning when I went to the gym. The winds are still gusting 20 to 30 mph but hopefully will die down this afternoon. Teemperatures are in the mid 40’s but with the wind it’s not very pleasant outside.
47 degrees, sunny, and windy. It’s degrees right now which will be the high. Temperatures will start falling this afternoon as the winds pick up to 30 to 40 mph with 50 to 60 mph gusts. By tonight we will be down into the 20’s but at least we have lots of sunshine and blue skies today. Extra outdoor playtime for Colin.
I did the weekly house cleaning chores and washed a load of towels. I will mix up one more batch of stuff for the last suet cake for winter. I feed all summer but no suet cakes again until late fall.
37 degrees and raining. Another yucky, wet, Saturday. We are under a flood warning until tomorrow morning. I’ve had well over 2.5 inches of rain since yesterday in the electronic rain gauge. As I said before; thankfully its wet and not white.
I went to the grocery store then came home and put in a load of laundry. I worked on clearing out old stuff in the filing cabinet to shred and reorganized some of the files and tidied up my desk.
It was 41 degrees and rainy this morning. Temperatures have stayed in the mid 40’s all day with a drizzly rain. Tonight we go down to 34 with more rain.
Gym, home, and back to work.
I am reading The Darling Dahlias and The Unlucky Clover.
It was 51 degrees, cloudy, and breezy this morning. We went from winter to spring in less than 24 hours. Now we are under flood watch through the weekend with rain in the forecast for everyday from tonight through Sunday. At least it will be rain and not four days of snow/sleet/freezing rain. We did have a thunderstorm last night around 6pm.
I went to the gym, home, and back to work my midday shift.
33 degree, icy, and rainy. We had mostly sleet and ice fall overnight. The ground was mostly covered and the trees. The sidewalk and driveway were ice skating rinks. As I’ve said before, Colin hates to walk to crunchy stuff. He tiptoed out onto the lawn far enough to pee before heading back inside.
I had a 10:30 haircut appointment for this morning. I called Pam on Monday when I saw the forecast for last night and this morning and changed it to 3:00 hoping I could get down the mountain by midday. They plowed and salted all night. Colin barked every time the plow went down our road.
I checked the DriveNC website about 9:30 to see that 21 was clear. Since I also had lunch planned with my friends from the Firm, I e-mailed them to let them know I would make lunch. I took off about 10:20 to give me plenty of time to get down the mountain.
Temperatures hovered around the mid 30’s in Winston. I did lunch, made a Costco run, had my haircut, and headed back up the mountain. Once back on 21 just after I left Elkin the trees were icy again all the way up to Sparta. Fortunately the temperature is right at 33 degrees. I hit fog partway up the mountain. Forecast for tonight…thunderstorms.
28 degrees, sunny, and breezy. I had several errands to run this morning on my in to town to do a volunteer shift at the bookstore.
JoAnn came by to visit while I was working. She left to run an errand than came back when I went off shift. We walked down the street to have lunch at Horizon Bistro. She followed me home so we could continue our visit and I could let Colin out.
Clouds have rolled in and the temperature is still in the mid-30’s. Feels icy out there so I guess the winter weather is coming in this evening.
44 degrees, sunny, and windy. That may be the high for the day. Clouds have rolled back in with those 40 mph gusty winds again for this afternoon and tonight.
Off to the gym this morning.
It was 32 degrees with rain just starting to fall when we went out this morning. Temperatures have hovered just at the freezing mark making it a rather nasty day outside. The rain was mixed with freezing rain that created some ice on the deck, bird feeders, etc. We may get a break this afternoon but heavier rain and wind moves in tonight.
I did the usual weekly house cleaning chores this morning along with washing a load of towels and the usual Sunday desk clearing and bill paying.
I am taking a break from reading mystery novels to read The Lobster Chronicles by Linda Greenlaw about living on a small island off Maine as a lobster fisherman.
It was 38 degrees with drizzle and a breeze. I put a load of sheets in to wash then headed into town to pick up a book from the library. The high today is supposed to be in the mid 40’s but I don’t think it will make it. Hopefully the moisture will move out before tonight since temps are to go down into the mid 20’s
I washed a load of clothes and made up a batch of homemade granola bars this afternoon.
