28 degrees, sunny, and windy this morning. Wind with temperature made it feel like it was down in the teen. High of 37 today with a breeze but at least we have lots of sunshine.
I worked a shift this morning at the bookstore.
I am reading Shadow Play by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles.
It was 30 degrees and cloudy with a slight breeze. Trees and other surfaces are still coated in ice. Today’s high is to be only 35 degrees and mostly cloudy which not help in the melting process. Low tonight back down into the 20’s.
The roads were clear so I went to the gym and the drugstore.
It was 31 degrees and iced over when we went out this morning. We did not get enough to completely cover the lawn but everything hanging was covered as well as the driveway and walkway. Colin tiptoed out onto the yard one paw at a time not liking the crunching through conditions. He finally went back onto the driveway and headed down to the back. Smart dog finally ended under the pines along the fence line where the ground was solid to do his business.
I did the usual weekly cleaning today. I also did the deep clean on the laundry room moving the washer and dryer and cleaning the shelves we installed over the appliances.
We may get another round of sleet/freezing rain/snow this afternoon and tonight but not much in accumulation. So far, I’ve not had any pine limbs down. Temperatures are just at freezing but drop back into the 20’s tonight.
It was 28 degrees, cloudy, and calm this morning. We’ve had off an on snow showers since around 10:30 this morning. It’s starting to snow a little heavier now with temperatures holding around 29 degrees. This afternoon and tonight is to be a mix of snow/sleet/freezing rain up to possibly and inch or so. Hopefully not enough ice to bring down trees and limbs.
Last night I went out for a late dinner with the couple I dog sat for. They picked me up around 6:30 to drive over to Galax, VA to meet some friends of theirs at the Twisted Fork.
Today I’ve done a load of laundry and mixed up a batch of oatmeal/chocolate chip cookie dough to bake this afternoon. While I am baking I have a big pot of pinto beans cooking for dinner tonight and to freeze for later.
I am reading Wagging Through the Snow by Laurien Berenson.
20 degrees, sunny, and Calm. Yes, no wind at all. Temperatures reached the mid 40’s today. With the sunshine and calm winds it was like a spring day here. Tonight is be back down in the mid 20’s with snow showers starting later tonight and tomorrow. So far predictions are on the low side. Let’s hope so.
I went to the gym this morning, home, and back to the gym to work. I did take time to get the bird feeder wired back down and refilled before I cleaned up and went into work.
It was 16 degrees and sunny with 60 mph wind gusts. The wind howled all night. Mesh hanging bird feeder wire tie downs blew loose again dumping all the seed. The winds finally died down this afternoon to 20 to 30 mph with temperatures topping out at 28 degrees. I have a new plan to fix it to withstand the high winds tomorrow when it is to be a little warmer and not as windy. Low tonight of 18 and 20 to 30 mph winds. I don’t mind the cold but that wind…
I went to the gym and grocery store then home and back to work at the gym.
