Aside from the fact that snow in general sucks, THIS snow sucks harder.

No kidding. I was railing at the TV weather last night when they predicted above-freezing highs starting tomorrow. I'll believe it when I see it. Almost every winter in the 20 years we've had this house, if there's significant snow on the ground, the temperatures are nearly always 5° or more below the predicted air temps. And we've got some significant snow. I don't foresee being out of the deep freeze for at least another week.

And then there's the two weeks of mushy ground and mud when it does finally thaw. Some of you might recall last winter's snow thaw costing us a whole boatload of money and months of aggravation when the cinderblock fences collapsed into the muck. We're still recovering.

I grew up in Southern California. "Snow" was something you went to the mountains to play in for a couple of hours. Not something you lived with. Snow sucks, and deep snow really sucks.

Just popped in to make sure there's coffee and snacks available for the people starting their day. Good night and see you in the morning.

It was a good day. I wrote fiction and got through the transition that's been bothering me. I made a big breakfast. I planted hyacinths, turned the dahlia beds, and cleaned the big aquarium. I got a nap in there, too.

Seems like there was more, but maybe all odds and ends, like watering house plants, cleaning cat boxes, grinding garlic, and doing dishes.

You napped in the big aquarium?

Last three Januarys have finished with below normal temperatures.

No sunshine today but the temperatures are warmer. It will even get up to 31 F today!!! BP was a little lower this morning (165/94) so I'm not as freaked out about it. Apparently you shouldn't be taking your blood pressure right after eating for some reason.

I've got a fresh pot of coffee brewing and the teapot is hot. There are snacks on the counter and I'm going to make a cornbread today.

I'll be over in the corner working on my story. I had to go back and change the dates on my story because I made an unwarranted assumption about the breakup of the Yugoslav Federation.

my last trip to the dietician took cornbread off the okay list, in spite of the fact that I've been eating it all along with no problem. no wonder i'm confused.
especially since the visit was supposed to focus on what I CAN eat (because i'm so confused i'm not eating much).
Somehow i'm not even seeing a Story Idea in the experience. Mind you, I ought to be working on the epic if i'm going to write.

And oddly, despite finishing below normal, we had two record High temperatures set (69 and 70)


Followed by two record Cold High temperatures set two weeks afterwards (14 and 15)


Range for the month from 70 for the high down to 4 for the low.

Hmm. It's big enough for that. Otherwise that seems like a syntax problem.
