SNOW!

 We've had several inches so far but it melts pretty quickly. Ground temperatures not all that cold and I can already see snow on various things outdoors melting away. Quite windy though and I hope that means this system will be out of our area soon. The snow will be good for soil moisture and I've got no reason to leave the house, so I guess this stuff won't be much of a problem. The sooner it's out of here the better, though. At various times the clouds seem almost thin enough for us to have some sunshine. It's been far worse. 

The rest of this week ought to be quite nice. 

How Much Will It Snow?

 There is a lot of uncertainty in the forecasts, that much is clear. Nothing else is clear. 

But it seems certain that Sunday will not be a very good day to be out and about. On the other hand it won't be extremely cold. That, at least, is good, and it's been fairly comfortable today. I did most of what I needed to do. Only a few things to accomplish before the system arrives. Whenever that will be. 

Snow Ice Wind

 It looks like we will have some sort of one day winter event on the day of the Super Bowl. I won't watch it because it goes on forever, with endless commercials, relentless hype and amped up crowd noise. Also, an interminable half-time show that I would find boring. If I sat through all that I'd hate myself. I have better things to do. If I can possibly get outside I certainly will. I'm already disgusted by the pre-game blather. There's nothing more inane than sports talk. 

I know that most people will be glued to their TVs, but I feel that doing what most people do is generally a bad idea, and likely to be more than a little stupid. 

Not Bad At All

 It's a bit cloudy but not at all cold and rain chances are minimal. The system battering California is sending clouds our way but they've lost all their moisture-- rained out. SOME rain would be great, but not the torrents that batter California. 

It's been a pretty fine February, so far, and so much better than the last few years. 

So Nice!

 Mild temps continue, plenty of sunshine and the winds have not been that bad, though a little dust has gotten in the air. So far this has been the best February I can remember. Extended forecast features the same old same old and I can dig it. But more rain would be nice.
