Northern weather

If we had some jack-o-lanterns like those we could keep all the kids away on Halloween.
A clown would make it certain.

From pumpkins to Christmas trees. What happened to the turkeys and pilgrims?

What happened to the turkeys and pilgrims?

They're being deported as unwanted immigrants..........

Well, a whole bunch of them missed that boat because they are very busy strutting, weaving and bobbing, and staring drivers down as they casually strut across several roads in our area. I don't know where they go once the snow flies, but they must be around somewhere in the nearby woods. I assume that because it was their like that became Thanksgiving Day main courses a long time, now. I enjoy the sounds they make, which has often awakened me early in the morning.

The boy called last night to say they'd gotten an inch of snow in Albany, NY yesterday, late in the afternoon, destroying the rush-hour. Took him ninety minutes to go eleven miles. Nice to know the Upstaters can have an I-495 moment too. Of course later I went into commute-PTSD recalling my many years sitting in that mess.

Not anymore...

Don't forget, Thanksgiving has never really been a holiday that folks did much decorating for. Even today it is not common.

Yesterday 70 degrees, short sleeves and shorts...today 37 degrees, forty mile-per-hour winds, flannel shirt, long pants and two layers when headed outside. The Fall Snap finally snapped...

Similar here in VA; split firewood in the afternoon and then a few hours later the wind arrived and the temp dropped 30 degrees. Some serious winds that were worrisome; power outages, but not precipitation. Watched part of the WV/Ok game in the snow in Morgantown and decided I need to get the rest of the firewood in on Fri.

We're supposed to hit freezing during the night but no snow or sleet.
We haven't had rain since the hurricane. I don't like cold.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

36 degrees here today on the way to the office and winds are still blowing.....

Looks like I'll be out cutting and splitting wood on Fri. to make sure someone's little toes are kept toasty,

We had a good rain overnight, we can use all the rain we can get here.
Thanks to all the church events I go to I had a potluck or Thanksgiving dinner Fri. Sat. Mon. Tue. and Thursday.
I like to eat, I see overweight people and its a wonder I only gain a little. I know I am fortunate.

This week began the "thermostat-whining" season...I keep the thing set at 65 degrees during the day and cycle down to 60 at night. The females are distressed by this regimen. I tell 'em the President (Jimmy Carter) said "put on a sweater".

A buddy of mine sets his thermostat to 58 overnight...he's a personal hero.

I agree, Healy. I haven't even lit the pilot light in the boiler yet, probably won't if it stays above 25 at night. We just use a little electric heater to keep the chill off. We had 27 here this AM.
