52 degrees, sunny, and calm this morning. Another springlike day in the mountains with temperatures climbing into the 60’s today but a bit breezy and some clouds.

I volunteered at the bookstore this morning.

I am reading A Fatal Vineyard Season by Philip R. Craig.

It was 34 degrees, sunny, and calm this morning. I had an early appointment in Winston leaving here around 7:45. By the time I left Winston it was 67 degrees and sunny. We are having a very nice day here too with temperatures possibly making it into the low 60’s with lots of sunshine and no wind.

Another nice day with temperatures climbing to 55 degrees today with mostly sunny skies and very little wind.

House cleaning chores this morning followed by first of the month check balancing and bill paying. My desk looks much better after clearing away a week of paper and clutter.

It was 36 degrees, sunny, and calm this morning. Break out the bathing suits, it’s to be 52 today with mostly sunny skies, and 5 to 15 mph winds.

I changed and washed the sheets, tidied up the kitchen counters, etc. While the sheets where drying I had an errand to run in town. When I came back I parked the car in the driveway. I swept the garage floor to get the dried salt from where it melted off the car last week along with other assorted leaves and debris then washed the car. Colin enjoyed being outside watching spending a great deal of time rolling around on his back.

This afternoon I need to do a load of laundry and a few other assorted chores.

I am reading Say No Moor by Maddy Hunter.

26 degrees, sunny, and calm. I went to the gym, home, and back to work my midday shift. While at the gym the clouds rolled in and snow flakes were flying around but not hitting the ground.

The high was to be in the upper 40’s but it never made it out of the 30’s and the wind picked back up making it another chilly day.

It was 15 degrees, sunny, and breezy this morning. While temperatures did get up to 30 today with the wind it’s still feels very cold.

Gym this morning then back to work my usual shift.

It was 19 degrees, sunny, and windy this morning. I went to the gym and the grocery store. I left here around 10:30 to drive down the mountain to meet Marcy and Nancy for lunch in East Bend. About 45 minutes for them and me.

The weather down the mountain was temps in the low 40’s and windy. Back up here it’s 20 with 15 to 20 mph winds and gusts over 40. Tonight is to be single digits with the same winds. Not as cold as it is in Minn. and those parts but it’s cold enough for me with wind chills down below 0 let alone those folks with temps below zero,

34 degrees, cloudy, and calm. We had not had any precipitation by the time I left to work the bookstore. Around 10:30 the rain quickly turned to a wet, blowing snow. I had one customer come in around 11. The afternoon shift person called to say temperatures were falling steadily and would continue to do so all afternoon and to just close up when I was ready.

I waited a while longer but no customers so I decided to go ahead a close a little early. The roads are just wet but the grass and higher surfaces are starting to get covered. I stopped by the library to pick up a book on the way home. Along with dropping temperatures the wind is going to pick up.

28 degrees, mostly sunny, and calm this morning. I went to the gym then to open the bookstore for a couple of hours until the usual Monday person arrived.

It’s warmed up to a balmy 41 degrees with some sunshine. However, clouds roll in this afternoon bringing snow starting tonight or in the morning. We are only supposed to get 1″ to 3″. Behind the snow is a frigid air mass bringing single digit temperatures by Wednesday with, what else, wind!

30 degrees, partly sunny with a breeze. A moderately nice day with the wind not blowing 60 mph. Clouds this afternoon may bring a few snow flurries but at least Colin can have some quality play time outside.

I vacuumed, dusted, and cleaned the bathrooms up stairs this morning. The two humidifiers have been cleaned with vinegar for the week, and other assorted small chores on list have been taken care of.
