Northern weather

[aterry11]

No lack of the coaster here in Nebraska.
Wed. cold windy 3to 6" of snow.
Thur. cold windy high of 27 last night when I crashed at 12.00,
Fri. sunny potential high of 60 50's all through next week and rainy this weekend.

We have about 2" of tacky mud that unthaws when possible but about 14" of candy bar frost below that.
All in all an A ticket ride the rest of my shade trees are going to die.

... about 14" of candy bar frost below that...

I like that excellent description. It goes into the vault for future use.

Sounds like a type of donut or ice cream, or a donut with ice cream on top!

75 and breezy

60's and rain........serious disappointment.

Everything here in northern NJ is coated with the tiniest spheres of ice-rain, approx. the size of peppercorns, making driving something I have approached very slowly, much to the ire of those few behind me. So, I shortened my plans and returned home, electing to enjoy a casual Sunday brunch of Italian Wedding Soup, ziti w/ marinara sauce, chicken cutlet in white wine, lemon-butter sauce, and salad, instead of continuing heart-in-my-throat sled-riding in my SUV-thing.

Good decision.

Tramp must be up to his neck in snow by now...meanwhile, should be fifty degrees here in northern Maryland today. The dogwoods must be blooming at Roger's place.

It was 81 here in Virginia Sunday and breezy. Monday was in the high 20s in the am and 50ish in the pm. No wonder I've been coughing the past few days.

There is a not-the-flu making the rounds in VA, Bob. Once you stop coughing, you don't stop until you lose a lung.....

Oi-vey, So true, apparently. I think I lost chunks of one last night. The amount of snot and coughed-up lung discharge is so profuse, I gave up using tissues and use paper-towel. Been through two whole rolls, since the onset of this curse last Thursday when a fourth grader opened up her yapper and coughed directly at me seemingly unaware of propriety.

I suspected I was getting ready to leave the planet yesterday (temp 101); however, during the night, I remember a moment, having just awakened, when I had the distinct feeling there had been a "break" and that I had passed through the worst of it.

Cliche as it may sound, I have been eating homemade chicken soup and drinking lots and lots and lots of fluids, esp. Green Tea. I feel better afterwards, strengthened. Today seems on the upswing for me, with far less coughing.

Hmmm, and I thought I was the only one hacking up a lung. Was supposed to get an MRI for a knee but I've been so susceptible to coughing fits I was advised to avoid "the tunnel" until these pass.

Been a miserable winter...spring surely must be around the corner.

Chicken soup and green tea will fix almost any ailment short of terminal cancer.
When I was suffering thru chemo for lymphoma chicken soup is what I lived on. Now I can hardly stand the smell

I used to work with an Australian back in the 70s (last century) who smoked a lot. One night him and his wife went to a party he he started coughing, collapsed a lung. He said he had never been in so much pain. He did put the cigs down after that!

I could eat chicken soup by the bucket, but green tea is a bit much...always smells like steeped lawn-clippings to me. A lot of folks swear by the medicinal benefits. That said, I could probably walk on hot coals if required to fend off the big C...thankful it worked for you Rex.
