How's the weather where you are?

Been buzzing around Brentwood all morning. Figured it's a good time to get bills paid, clean out a few drawers, and list some more guns to sell.
This week looks to be a total wash as far as work. Oh well, I'm powerless over the weather too:)

Was out in this mess early this morning due to staying overnight with some guys from Room In The Inn last night.  At 0600 there was probably only a 1/2" or so of ice, but it was slick.  Luckily there weren't too many cars on the road, yet.  Looking forward to staying in the rest of the day.

 

Weather like this really means something when you're homeless. Usually when we have dinner with the guys, they're talkative.  Last night, there was nothing but concern about what the weather was going to do, and the fact that a lot of the normal places to shelter would be closed today.  Everyone was in bed early.

 

I find myself really thankful to be able to observe the weather through a window.  Not everyone is that fortunate.

It hasn't let up here.  We've got about 1.5 - 2.0" of ice on the yard, road, driveway, etc.  Temperatures don't rise above freezing for a few days per the weather reports, and now snow is back in the forecast for Friday.

 

I'll be keeping myself sane by working on TGO behind the scenes.  Some of you may go nuts with the subtle changes I have planned.  :D

Oh NO!! Here we go again. I'm just getting used to the last changes. lol

 

Actually, that's a lie...I didn't pay any attention to them. I just keep pluggin' along.

it has gotten bad here.   My gravel driveway is near covered in a layer of ice.

 

Got a call from the store.   Closing at 6 today,  I was given the option of not coming in.  I took it.   Can't remember the last time I got a snow day.

Yes, the ice is still accumulating here in Inglewood too. Starting to see branches breaking off the Magnolia in the front yard.

 

With all the older trees in this area, I won't be surprised if we start getting some power outages around here as well.

rain not much more. looks like it is all we are going to get.

The north side of Cleveland is starting to get some ice sickles here and there. Cleveland likes to defy the laws of nature though.... 29* and still liquid water. My kids are having a "where's the snow?" fit, lol Edited by Wingshooter

It may not be snow but 2 inches of icey mix makes for some nice sledding. Kids and I went out after lunch. The house sits on a hill about 200 yds off the road. Of course Dad had to check it out and be the first one down. Wasn't quite the Clark Griswald run but it was fast enough for me to realize the road to the hospital was probably pretty icey if I cracked up on this run. Then I had to walk back up! 3xdown was enough for me. Kids are still at it. Edited by Dad03
