Northern weather

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Barely snowing here, maybe an inch.

Over 4" here now - guess I'll get the snowblower fired up in a few hours - got PT tomorrow for my arm so I guess it's all good.

Looking forward to the sleet and freezing rain this evening...should make the nightly news that much more entertaining.

Got at least 6 hours of fire wood in the garage in case the power goes out; will probably make tomorrow pretty much a lost day....

Hunkering down by the fire sounds like a good idea.

Good way spend the evening before another lost day burning old financial records and doing the taxes,

Did a quick pass on the taxes a couple of weeks ago just to make sure I wasn't totally screwed...now I'm just waiting for the last of the 1099's to roll in from Morgan Stanley (probably a couple more weeks away). Every year I hope it will be easier then the last, and it never is...ugh.

penn dot employee's dream working stiff's nightmare. Overtime for the plow driver and insurance repair for the stiff. The snow here has a noise to it when it hits your car. My bet is on 5:15 it is a glaze of ice.

these little ones all always the first in the neighborhood. For years i have tried to transplant some into my yard. It never works. They wont grow in my yard. On the downside every year that it has snowed these get snowed on. Last year they got snow covered then run over by the lawn mower
Here they are feb 22.

Nearly two inches of rain in the last 36 hours, and the heavy stuff is supposed to hit this afternoon. Good time to put down some grass-seed.

I'm thinking it might be a good time to start heading to higher ground and to break out the water-wings......and maybe get ready for power outages when trees start coming down.

It's nearly like summertime up here...almost six o'clock in the evening, sixty-two degrees and a helluva thunder/lightning storm out there...

Crazy weather.

Got the thunder storm, but not the 62!

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Was coming down so hard with hail mixed in that I could not see the house across the back yard at one point and when it let up I had a lake out back...with part of the garden from the front yard in it.

It's been coming down very hard here for approx. an hour, tornadic possibilities warned for central and southern-most NJ, with plenty of lightening announcing this storm's arrival (from PA?) I pulled the plug on both our computers (not sure if that actually is a necessary thing to do, or not, so I "error on the side of caution" during electrically charged storms. They (who is that they anyway?) say lightening can affect model train transformers, too, that a hit somewhere along the lines can get translated right into and through my ZWs to the locomotive's electronics, frying them both.

What an avatar. That finger waggle is something.

And the grinning.............just reeks of malevolence.....sort of like when you're denied that loan that you really needed

Reminds me of the streets of The Village in NYC at Halloween. There are many such wonders lurking through the streets on that night, especially, I can assure you. Never missed that occasion from 1969 - 1990's . It grew exponentially, from several characters parading the sidewalks to an outright formal, permit-granted parade through the streets, all topped-off by a pilgrimage to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show (w/ Tim Curry's tour de force role)at a movie-house on 8th St. , the attendance of which in itself became a cultural phenomenon many made sure they experienced.

Got a couple of inches overnight of what I hope is the last of the snow for winter 2015-2016...should be seventy degrees by the end of next week according to NOAA.

The pup loves the snow...she thinks she's invisible when she hunkers down in it:





We got her a year ago last November, sort of a rescue from a breeder in North Carolina. A real little brawler, sweet as can be.

Hoping to see some crocuses coming up this week...
