Snow break…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
More freaking snow, a lot of it. Momma is not happy and when…well, you know how that goes.
Neither pup is pleased with this weather. Cold, snowy, windy, yeah they are not happy about it. I never saw two dogs go out, pee, and come back inside faster than what they’ve been doing. 🙂
I cannot stress enough how blessed we are with the woman who clears our walk and driveway. I know I am not able to do all that shoveling these days.
It used to be that we shoveled all our neighbor’s walks. The Curmudgeon would run the snow blower clear down the street on both sides while I shoveled porches and steps.

Ah yes, more lovely weather

It snowed all night, when I woke it was still snowing, not much accumulation though. Long day of snow, no snow, rain, fog and now freezing rain.
Please, please, please tell me Spring is almost here. Hell, lie to me! I don’t care. I do not like this weather.

The high yesterday was 21…

Which is where it is now. Wow, we’re having a heat wave!
I think I’ll hibernate until spring. I hate this weather. You all have a good one. I think I’ll build a snowman…

Rain on top of snow makes ice and slush.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
It’s true! My driveway and sidewalks are covered in ice. The yard is ice and slush much to the dogs consternation.
The temperature is 36 degrees at present. Yeah, that’s real fun… rain on top of ice and snow also makes fog.
Here’s hoping all this crappy weather gets out of here fast.
You all have a good one and stay warm!

OMFG Brrrr!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Avoiding going outside as much as possible. It is down to 5 degrees. It has been a while since we’ve been down to single digits and it can stop any time now.
The dogs don’t want to go out until they absolutely MUST go. Funny to see them dash out, pee, and pee, and pee, and pee, then dash back in. Next stop for Patty is rolled up into her super soft snuggly blankie. Gavin is starting to snuggle up next to her. They never did this before the super soft snuggly blankie.
Time for me to put on the Jammies and curl up with a good book.
Last night

Yep, it’s a blizzard…January 3, 2014

Too much snow coming down outside. The dogs are NOT happy with it at all. Neither am I.
I have shoveled the back steps and sidewalk three times already and it looks as though I never touched them. My back is not thrilled with me at the moment.
If you are in the snow as we are, snuggle in and stay warm! You all have a good one!

Who shook the snow globe?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
It looked and felt like we were inside a well shaken snow globe all day. Yes, if you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you know I like one snowstorm a year, after that, all bets are off!
We’ve had too many and too much now. It can stop. The dogs are even ticked off about the snow. You have to boot them out the door.
The Curmudgeon is having trouble walking in the crap in the yard. He is not liking that white stuff either.
Therefore, if you are the person who is shaking the snow globe, I ask that you STOP IT! To the rest of you, you all have a good one!

So the snow finally got here…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Taken through the kitchen window.
The snow began to come fairly steady by the afternoon yesterday. At one point, I looked out the window to see this fat squirrel sitting in the tulip poplar, using his tail for a hat.
I had to call The Curmudgeon to the window so he could also get a laugh.
We didn’t get a lot of snow, we’ll see what happens over night and into the day. This is NOT my favorite weather.
I dragged out my winter boots and warmed them on the radiator. Believe me I was glad to have them when I took the dogs out because both of them decided it was playtime. Dogs and their first snowfall of the year are like kids. By the third snowfall they are more like me. ‘Let’s see how fast I can do this.’
You all have a good one. We’ll be hunkering down and keeping warm.

I can do without the snow and ice.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
We did have a few days of unseasonably warm weather and of course that tends to lull one into a false sense of security. I hadn’t as yet put the liner in my good jacket and had taken my hoodie out of my old jacket again so I could wear just the hoodie in the ‘warmer’ weather.
In the last hour the temperature dropped ten degrees and shows no sign of stopping.
Even though it has turned to plain old rain again, I know that in a few more hours there’s ice, sleet, and snow in store for us. Yuck. At least Texas got snow before we did. 😉

A foggy night…I love it!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
When I took the garbage out, I had to stop and take in the sight of the heavy fog blocking out anything half a block away. I do love when the fog cloaks the cemetery. Shades of Bela Lugosi! You almost expect him to walk up and tap you on the shoulder.
Two a.m. and the temperature is up to fifty-seven degrees, the warmest it has been all day…um …well, night. Strange weather we’re having for sure.
Yesterday afternoon the fog wasn’t as dense but still had us pretty well socked in.

OMFG! This is way too hot!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
93 degrees with 83% humidity is not proper summer weather for Pennsylvania! Argh!
After midnight and we have 80 degrees with 83% humidity. You have to be kidding me! No! No! No! What the heck happened to our mid eighties with low humidity and dropping down to mid to high sixties at night?
Jeez, this has to stop. I can’t get any yard work done and it is beginning to look like a freaking jungle out there. HEEELLLLP! The plants are taking over!!!
You can’t breathe outside, the air is thick enough to cut a slice and chew it. The dogs don’t want to take more than three steps into the yard to pee and then dash back in to flop in front of the AC.
You all have a good one.
