In other news, I have been really sick all last week, still have some symptoms, but am feeling so much better today!

You're not alone on that one. While I feel better, I am a long way from feeling good. Let's hope it keeps getting better. 🤞

 

Aye!

Were certainly not alone, most everybody I know had/has what ever it is. What is so strange about is is how long it seems to take to get over it. Alot of people around here are going on three weeks, personally I'm going on two. I'm definitely getting better now though, started feeling a little better Tuesday, and am better every day since.

It has been snowing this morning! This is the closest thing to a white Christmas I have ever seen. Mom said once we had a year it snowed on Christmas eve, and there was still snow the next day. It normally only snows about every 3 years, and that will be in late Jan. or in Feb...in other words it never snows this close to Christmas, so it's pretty exciting!

It's supposed to be 6-7F. in the morning, this is definitely the coldest weather I can remember this close to Chistmas. But yeah, I've seen 80's on Christmas day. Old timers tell of a year it was 90,supposedly they had swim partys that year.

I wish I had your climate. It took a break from raining for the first time in almost two days, and the weekend is supposed to be highs of 36 and 34. I am training for a 10k in March, and I am going to have to run for about 6 miles in 40 degree weather. Not looking forward to it.

I have not seen snow since I moved to Georgia 7 years ago! We may get some on Christmas this year though.

It is currently 23F and been RAINING for the past couple of hours 😬  Just got back from a walk with my wife and everything in the world is Rhinolined. The rain even froze on my coat sleeves.

I’m racing the cold front home, got 4 hours left on the drive and the temps are currently at 36… hoping to stay ahead of the ice and slush when the wave brings a 40 degree drop

Last night's forecast called for 31F this morning.  Right now, it's currently ... 50F!  UP 5 degrees in the last 12 hours.  It might even still be tolerable when I walk the dog after sunrise.  After that I'll bring in the remaining potted plants, the ones that don't come in unless it's below 25.

Up here in Vancouver BC we had a couple if inches of snow, which is enough to halfway shut the city down, then we got a full foot of snow, and now two days later we're getting another 8", which will turn into freezing rain tomorrow. Currently coming down as accumulating ice pellets or sleety snow. Then major rain through the weekend, melting everything on the ground, and we still have leaves on the streets and in the storm sewer system... It's going to be interesting.

It peaked at 51F around 6:00 or so.  Now at 7:00, it's dropped 11 degrees to 40F in an hour.

Never complain about rain! It is one of the single best blessings you can have. And when you live in a place it hardly ever rains, you fully appreciate it.
