What a cutie!

Happy new year, all!

Had a great weekend x-country skiing up north, plenty of snow both here and there...the kiddles had a snow day yesterday, so I stayed home with them, we went to the movies...had a great time. :)

This mornin' was minus 10 at 7:45am...

I had a fuel injector line start a fast gas drip on top of the engine this morning, after I went out to get the car started and let it warm up. Glad it didn't get too warm, and glad for the 15 degree outside temps at the time. I'm still waiting for the damn tow truck to show up. What sucks is the Subaru dealership sold out to someone else, so now instead of being only a couple of miles away it's almost 20.

Gooooooood morning and Happy New Year! Biiig storms are getting ready to pound us. They are saying 60-70 mph gusts in the city and sustained 100 mph in the mountaings. Should see 3-4 inches of rain over the next couple of days and up to 10 feet of snow in the mtns. We need it but that's pretty heavy duty.

Enjoy, folks!

only60-70?

You guys have it easy! our last storm we had 75 mph substained winds. And thats NORMAL. i live in a freakin wind tunnel. It's why I can't grow tall flowers and its why 2" of snow turns into a 4 foot drift by my front door.

Good moning.

It's a little warmer this morning, 44°F. and our second bout with winter is almost over. Today will hit 65°F. and then Saturday will start a string of 70+ days.

1.5 hours until the Resource Cafe opens. But my coffee is ready. Just have to warm some cinamon raisin buns.

Have a great day.

Melbourne Weather yesterday
Snow flurries' stay is fleeting "The National Weather Service got calls about snow sightings from Volusia to Indian River counties, meteorologist Randy Lascody said. ... Snow came down in Sharpes and Sebastian, while there were several more unofficial reports from other areas of Brevard, Lascody said."

"Temperatures did hit below freezing in Brevard," Lascody said. "with lows of 30 degrees reported in Scottsmoor and 32 degrees in Palm Bay. Melbourne International Airport [located one block from nowslimmer], where official temperatures are recorded, only measured 34 degrees, above the record of 33 set in 1962."

chappy - That's exactly where my new space heater is pointed!

I thought we were doing good this morning and beat that nasty bus that never pulls over (we creep along behind it for 4 miles...ugh!) turns out the buses wouldn't start, so school was delayed by 2 hours.

I bet my kids are wishing they took the bus!

Chappy - Our second wave of winter is past. It's 55°F. and headed to 70° F. today. A little rain has fallen, but the sun is now shining. The five day forecast shows highs in the 70's each day.

My buns are tasty warm.

Enjoy a great weekend.

good morning, well it has been a crappy week so i was thinking of maybe going with tree today to the radio station and then taking a walk on the AT. nothing big just a mile or so. both kness hurt and i am getting over the cold so I would have to take it easy but i think this would be what my doctor would want :)
I guess i need to clear my head, and this is the best way right?

We love you too SC...back from my walk in the park with some mild trail maintenence. The beaver has been busy these last three days clearing out the saplings around the lake. Looks like a pack of hogs were wrestling around where he was gathering wood...lol. I helped him out the other morning when ET and I were out. The beaver had a tree down but all the briar vines kept him from dragging it into the lake, so ET and I cut it free and I dragged it to the shoreline for him...it was gone this morning...
