We had some meltage today.
It wasn’t much but it is better than none. I managed to get outside and clean up as many land mines as I could find. (Better known as dog poop.) With temperatures coming our way above freezing for the next several day we should be down to our usual Spring mud hole of a yard.
Maybe this is the year I get a patio in so The Curmudgeon and dogs don’t track in so much mud on wet days.
This would be nice.
The real question is, do I have the patience to do it? LOL, I doubt it.
You all have a good one!
We want warm weather
It still isn’t warm enough to melt away much of the darned white stuff on the ground. We can’t call it snow because it’s more like ice. Barely hitting 40 by afternoon and then dropping to 20 degrees as soon as the sun goes down doesn’t work the greatest.
I did manage to break through the six-inch deep ice on the sidewalk out back and cleared a single square foot’s worth of cement in hopes that it will help melt the rest off faster. We have two small spots of visible ground, one along the side of the house and another out by what’s left of the pond.
Supposed to hit 47 degrees today, let’s hope it melts off more of the white stuff.
You all have a good one!
Sneaking this in, hoping Mother Nature doesn’t take notice
We got off lucky on Sunday with only a dusting of snow. (Saying that very quietly.) When it was snowing hard and, thankfully, not sticking much, I took the dogs out. Never have I seen such a disgusted look on two dogs.
It’s true, not only are the people going crazy this winter but the pets are too. I’m hoping that today’s forecast of snow also hits the skids as yesterday’s did. We still have feet of the white stuff in the yard which has turned into hard, icy, pad cutting snow. We need it to thaw and go away.
I so crave green plants, warm sun, and flowers. You all have a good one!
Fun? Not yet.
I pity the pups. They are as sick of the snow-covered ground as we are. Neither one wants to go outside for more than a minute or two.
Looks like we’re supposed to get snow today and Friday night. Here’s the forecast for today.
WE ARE EXPECTING A LIGHT SNOWFALL EVENT TO OCCUR COINCIDENT WITH THE MORNING COMMUTE TOMORROW. GENERALLY AROUND AN INCH SHOULD FALL ACROSS THE NON-ADVISORY AREAS AND COULD GREATLY IMPACT THE MORNING COMMUTE AS THE SNOW WILL BEGIN TO STICK INSTANTLY TO ALL UNTREATED SURFACES. THE SNOW SHOULD END RELATIVELY QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST LATE TOMORROW MORNING.
IF YOU WILL BE DRIVING TOMORROW MORNING, BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AND REDUCED VISIBILITY. BE SURE TO LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN YOUR VEHICLE AND THE ONE AHEAD OF YOU.
Oh fun…NOT.
Uneffing believable…more effing snow.
I think I’ll quit reading weather forecasts and stay ignorant of what is to come. Tonight the forecast is snow and 27 degrees. Monday a high of 32 degrees followed by more snow and colder on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Yeah, I vote that I stop looking at them. Especially since both skelemingoes are finally visible in the garden under the tulip poplar.
Here’s one today.
Here’s the same one a few days ago.
Come on March!
Whoohoo, we hit 44 degrees today! A few more days of this, and we might actually be able to see some of my taller garden plants. 😀
Friday we’re supposed to go as high as 49 degrees and Saturday we should top out at 52. If only it will stay that way for a while. Unfortunately, February will end on low temperatures in the 20’s.
Please March hurry and grace us with your warmth, green beer, and ugh my birthday.
I have two skelemingoes, this is the only one you can see. I wonder how many days until both are fully visible again. Any guesses?
Has anyone seen Spring? Please send her our way.
Overnight 4 more inches of snow arrived. Forecast for Wednesday is rain and ice. Do we look as though we need more crap?
You have to be EFFING kidding me!
