Warming Nicely!

 Looking good. The norther arriving Friday, late, won't be much, and it'll be dry. I hope we've seen the last of the snow. I think we might have warm temps rather early this year. There's a lot I'd like to do outside. 







I'm not going to have many sunflowers this year, I know. I need to do something different.

Snow Melting!

 It's warming as well! A little dry norther is due this weekend but it won't be very drastic in terms of temperature changes. I found SAMBAL OLEK again and that was terrific. There's also a Vietnamese variety and I'm partial to both so I bought some of each. I'm going to buy that every time I run across it until I'm well-stocked. Be happy for little things that make life more enjoyable. 







I'm already thinking about things I'd like to do this summer, around the house. Maybe some landscaping. I haven't been to a garden center in years. I need to see what I can find.

Snow Over

 Good riddance to the snow. We got about three inches and that was three inches too much. At least it is clear today and warming rapidly. I finally got through the energy provider debacle. We'll see how much I end up paying, since the local bills won't go away. There will still be charges for other services. And I think the elderly and poor (poor and elderly) will be hard hit. As usual. 







I saw none of the Super Bowl but I was pleased with the outcome.

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.
