Watching it snow, drinking some coffee and reading my book:
Right now, we are in the 70's with a breeze and the doors open. Lovely! Tonight, down to 28 with more wind and 41 for a high tomorrow.

prayers for all in the path, stay warm and safe. and prayers for the helene storm victims still trying to stay alive.
just heard a sort of warning that this storm will cause problems on eastern seabord ports and to expect shortages real fast in grocery stores very soon as it will take some time to get things back to normal.
then he reminded jan 15 is the port workers strike oneastern seaboard and gulf.
kinda looks like there is oppertunity for things to get icky fast.
got coffee?

A lovely negative 3 here right now. Hoping the turkeys are still alive. Couldn't put a cover on their run because the snow took it down last year.
Animal chores will be a pain today. Hoping neighbor Marlon will have the skidster out at some point today.

Your turn!
Talking to Jim this morning... he reminded me that in Ky, Tn and northern Al, ice is always our worry. He got serious ice last night, lots of people without power.
Sure we'll get a little snow once in a while, maybe big snow every 20yrs or so. But year in year out ice is the big threat. Takes out power lines over huge areas.
30f now, maybe 20f over night. Rinse and repeat til the weekend. Weather report had a little snow as a maybe for Fri/Sat.

The worst of it passed south of us. Leaf blower handled most of the snow. Just a week of cold in the forecast.

Ugh. 2 degrees out now. The pup keeps his potty runs quick
We got a snow total of 10 inches but it was tamped down by some sleet. Most businesses were closed today, including mine. The heat pump’s fan went out, might just be the capacitor and I have an extra one but it’s going to get pretty cold so will just switch it to emergency heat through that period. At least the freezing rain didn’t make it up to me.

Daughter said where she works (pizza place) closed early tonight, it was slow. And likely be closed on Thursday and Friday, likely because of the snow and such.
I get tired of waiting for approval to go home or not go in when roads are bad and only going to get worse. They gotta have meetings and discussions and approval and yadda yadda ya. Meanwhile another 2” of snow on the roads and nobody knows how to drive in the snow here! Including me! Lol

Funny thing about living in Texas…now where is that snow shovel? Darn it.
Fairly heavy rain all day.
The "LOW" for tonight to be in low 40's and rain.
