Didn't seem too bad so I set up in the back yard to smoke a pipe and take my last meeting of the day but the wind's picking up now and I think I'd better move.

The forecast said 1-3" of snow and freezing rain. Didn't get the ice storm luckily but we got about 8" of wet heavy snow. Never feel older than when I'm shoveling snow.
Here we go again was 70 yesterday.

Total snow accumulations of up to 6 inches. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph. For the Winter Weather Advisory, snow expected. Total snow accumulations of up to 3 inches. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph. * WHERE...Counties in western North Carolina along the Tennessee border. * WHEN...From 1 AM to 7 PM EST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. Patches of black ice will develop on bridges and overpasses Saturday morning, resulting in slippery spots. The cold wind chills as low as 10 below zero could result in hypothermia if precautions are not taken. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Rain will change to snow across the mountains of North Carolina early Saturday morning, beginning on the highest peaks and ridgetops of the Smokies around midnight and down to the valley floors by sunrise, as temperatures fall quickly below freezing.

I’m getting the same thing Rodger. I had to cut my grass last weekend, it’s 68 and sunny today, calling for anywhere between 6”-8” of snow through the weekend.

There aren't many good drivers in illinoise.
Trapped in the People's Communits Republic of Massachusetts.
95% of drivers think they are better-than-average drivers. That goes up to 99% in MA.
I'm an excellent driver.
Snow last night 14*
Currently 55* and clear with a high of 82* tomorrow
If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience
If you are a newbie I got Dem nachos....
58 yesterday, topping out around 30 today, currently 21. However my crocus have come back, and the jonquils are poking up so spring can't be far off.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Topping out at 7 today in the next couple hours it says then back to negatives
50 degrees yesterday and it will be 16 tonight. Still have snow where the sun doesn't hit.

Way warmer than it should be, mid-teens above 0, and snowing hard again. Was -25 yesterday morning.
We have a winter weather advisory until 9 pm. High winds and snow showers.

Rare snow in the Bay Area and freeze warnings until Friday morning are putting a crimp on my smoke time.
Cloudy and cooler (61 F) but still warm enough to enjoy a pipe. I may have to switch from shorts to pants for tonight's blind tasting.
You know I'm going to have to bring it up now, don't you?
And it's started to rain lightly now. We really need it so I'm still happy.
I don't mind if you mention I'm wearing shorts, just don't tell them I'm wearing house shoes.
Wind advisory today, I'll probably have to move to the garage to smoke. Busy day today, not sure when I'll get the chance.
