Clear Skies

 The rain stopped at last and it's looking good. I hate that cloudy, cold, wet, crap. 

Too Wet

 Too much rain. Not hard rain but just off and on light showers under cloudy skies. Slop, in other words. No snow, and that's good, but the wet slop I can do without. Is this going to be a wet winter? Say it ain't so. 

But this slop should be ending this afternoon. The sooner the better. 

It WAS Thanksgiving

 So far the winter storm has not produced much precipitation here, in any form. The wind chill is uncomfortable and the clouds make it gloomy. I never do the Black Friday nonsense and I'm well-stocked with everything I need this weekend. 

Thanksgiving was pleasant, thanks to family connections here, and I'm grateful for those connections!

It Is Thanksgiving

 No snow yet, and not all that cold, either.

It seems that the heaviest snow will miss us. Subject to change without notice. 

Winter Crap Arrives Early

 Nice enough today, turning cold and wet tomorrow. Maybe a few inches of snow over the next few days. Darn. Just what I didn't want. Fortunately it looks as though it will warm up again once this "freak" storm is done. Too many "freak" weather events in the past few years-- too many for my taste. 

It would be ironic to discover that the activities of a freak species give rise to freak weather. But wait, I think that has already been proven... at the five sigma level?
