Northern weather

[v8vega]

I used to turn off the pilot light on my wall heater during the summer. It is sometimes a pain to light in the fall so I leave it on all the time now. Gas is expensive here but I run the heater all I want, I hate to be cold.

27 down in southeastern Va today, at least the wind's not blowing.

We had an employees only pot-luck luncheon at the golf course yesterday, followed by a 9-hole "tournament", my team came in 4th. The wind was howling and a couple of the holes that were in the shade most of the day were bitter cold. Didn't make a putt the whole way around until I sank a 30-footer on the final hole for a birdie which put us in the money!!!

My front yard is covered in gumballs, as soon as I figure out a use for them I'm selling them to the Navy, maybe for paint blasting or even a cheap weapons program

OR...maybe I can grind them up and use them for ballast or scenery material

Rake them up into a paper bag and put them in the fireplace?

Great time of year for golf...once that ground is frozen you can drive a ball 500 yards...

This morning it was a balmy 11 degrees at 0700, with no wind thankfully. Supposed to get some snow/sleet/frozen-rain overnight and into the morning...should be nice travelling weather for the drive to BWI to pick up the boy. Of course he's flying in from Albany and when I last looked his flight was on the "we-may-cancel" list...ugh.

We were at 4 degrees this morning. 14 when I came home from work at 5:30. Supposed to get snow beginning mid-night, turning to sleet, then to rain by daybreak. Gonna be lovely. I gotta work tomorrow. With the frost that's in the ground and roads, we're gonna have fun on the ice.

You've probably got an ugly morning ahead of you up there.... We only need to forecast that here for panic to set in by full force.

LOL...my ex-wife got the fireplace (maybe I can talk her into coming over and raking them up )

Not much of an event overnight, but enough to muck up travel. Albany is socked-in with one-inch-per-hour snowfall, and sections of the Baltimore beltway are closed due to the ice-storm here in Maryland. Hopefully temps go up and this mess melts off.

Doesn't look too bad:
