Back home in front of the fire because our power company is threatening state-wide rolling power outages.

What a lovely Xmas present!

Never went out for us. But I had cut the heat down when we got the fire going good. No point in wasting electricity when we can heat alternatively.

Ugh, just now hearing the freezing rain start to fall. Thoughts for anyone who has to be out in it or worse, driving during it!

I just hope conditions aren't too awful tonight, hubby has graveyard and has to make it up a steep hill to work. At least it's no surprise to him, he's a meteorologist. He said they've got cots and blankets in the conference room in case anyone gets stuck and can't safely get back down the hill. At least a couple of his co-workers have been using the hotel near the airport which is on the same hill as the weather station. I've told hubby to do that if he needs to!

But several years ago, he already had one incident like this where he spun out getting down from our hill trying to make it to work for another graveyard shift, bumped into a guard rail and had to spend the night in his car, never getting to work at all. A neighbor with a truck and chains spotted him and got him back mostly up the hill, where it was literally too slick to cross the street. Another neighbor handed him a shovel to use as an ice pick to steady himself to make it to our house. We rescued his vehicle a couple days later after things had thawed.

I once watched a woman CRAWLING up our sidewalk in ice conditions to make it to her job at the top of the hill.

Stay warm everyone!

And merry Christmas in spite of the darn weather!

29F at the cafe at 8:30 this morning. But bright sun should warm it some today. Looking for a high of 45.

All the snow and ice went away last night, other than a few stubborn patches here and there! Temps went from the 20s to mid-50s and we had rain and wind. I see a tiny patch of blue sky! 57F and cloudy.

daytime temps now reaching the high 40's -> low 50's F -- walking is again a pleasure ... nights still dipping below freezing

6° and raining. Better than snow but that's about all that's good about this weather.

It started to rain around midnight, eight hours ago and since then over 10mm of rain has fallen. It looks like it'll rain until about 8pm (although one weather service says it stop at 5pm).

It'll be a quiet day in the store, is my guess. December 31 is never busy, people are too focused on tonight; parties, food, fireworks, etc. But with this weather it'll be really quiet.

8° with rain showers.

Since it is 2022-Dec-31, Happy New Year!

pouring rain, 50's F ...

Our high temperature was in the low 40s (F) and we had rain and very dense fog all day. But I have it on good authority that the sun'll come out tomorrow ...!

[poohbear_nc]

dense fog and a warm up in temps

75 F and sunshine
