Spring Redux
Weather people now say that snow storm won’t be as bad as they thought it would. Now they say maybe an inch or two of the white stuff on my part of the commonwealth.
Spring
The calendar tells me that Spring begins on March 20 at 12:30 a.m. Weather people tell me a snow storm is going to happen on the very first day of a brand new season. They .said we can expect up to a foot of heavy wet snow. You got to love the El Nino weather […]
Snow No Snow
Last year nearing the end of February, we had 100 plus inches of snow. In some places there were snow piles higher than a two story building. At this very moment, there is no snow to be found. An El Nino weather pattern will do that in the northeastern part of the US. Maybe next […]

Winter
Today is the first full day of Winter. Here, in the Northeast part of the country, it is early in the evening, and it is in the mid-50s, come Thursday near 70. Truly weird weather.

The calendar says it is April 8 Well, it’s 36 degrees and it’s snowing. Come Friday the expected high is supposed to be 65. Just more wacky/weird New England weather to deal with.
Just A Thought
With all the snow in the past three weeks, which was a good amount, there is one way and the best way of looking at it, Laugh! No sense in getting all bent out of shape, as it won’t do you any good. Besides, its Winter! Enjoy it, maybe next Winter will be one of […]

More Snow On The Way
February 2 is Groundhog Day How many groundhogs will see their shadows? As far as living in Massachusetts, more snow is predicted for Monday. Talk is, 6-10″, 6-12″, 10-12″, 12″ plus. Snow is good for skiers and snow boarders, but not so much for drivers, shovelers, pedestrians, etc. I say just grin and bare it, […]

Here in Eastern Mass., the first snow storm of the season is upon us. How much we get, is probably anyone’s guess. The photo was taken a couple of hours after the change over from rain.

Raindrops on the glass, and a reflection too.
Today The Heat Really Sucked
The heat and humidity really sucked today. At 4:00 PM, the air was so damn stifling, it like sucked the air right of you. The photo above and below were taken at 6:14 PM. The rain, or what rain fell was a short welcome relief.
Hazy & Cloudy
At 1:05 PM, it was hazy, cloudy and 87 F with a feel of 93. 30 C with a feel of 34. The breeze in the shade feels good.
What Irks Me No. 2
Say the outside temperature is 98 F, with stifling humidity. And being outside in such sticky air, and the body is sweaty, and afraid you might have to take to the scissors to extricate one self from the soaked shirt. Anyways, along comes an idiot, all happy as he/she is whistling some stupid tune and […]
Gray Sky

Side Walk Covered With Snow
The side walk is covered with a layer of snow. This was taken this morning (2/19/14). We got more snow in the afternoon, before it changed to a light mist of rain.
Tire Track
While I was standing outside, during the middle of the afternoon, I took my phone out and was going to a photo of the snow covering the yews. When I looked to see how that pic came out, I saw this photo of the tire track and the curb to the left of it. The […]
Mother Nature
It seems that mother nature has a problem. The problem is, she must have a very itchy scalp. With all the dandruff falling from the sky above, it looks like she needs a good shampooing, with a good rinsing. Then a apply some conditioning, then rinse and repeat. Now, all this dandruff is landing on […]

Dusting Of Snow On Hedges
Got about an inch or two of snow today, more or less of a nuisance. Warmer weather is to be here for the weekend, and Monday.
Snow Covered Park
On my daily walk this morning, I decided to cut through the local park, as the walking was kind of on the treacherous side. Lots of icy spots. I only took this one photo, and it does have a Zen look to it.
Light Snow Falling
A View Through The Balcony Window
Two photos of rooftops and grounds covered with a coating of snow. Not much of an accumulation, as it went from snow, to sleet, back to snow, then a light mist.
So ……
So earlier today, A Pondering Mind was outside getting some air. This was close to noon time. Well, out comes one of my neighbors and this was the gist of the conversation: He: Nice day, huh! Me: What? Off he went on his merry way. This happened with an overcast sky, 40F, and a damp/raw […]

Looking Out My Window
Passing The Time While Enduring The Heat Wave
No need to remind anyone of the relentless heat wave, that’s gripping the northeast, and other parts of the country. Basically, I go for my walk early in the morning, before the temps spike back up, and the high humidity that is included. Then its doing crosswords, book reading, posting on my blog (if I’m […]
More Humid Weather
The humid weather is still here, and will be here for the rest of the week. A story in the newspaper this morning, more or less said, no more 90s, but it will be in the 80s for the rest of the week. Humid, sticky weather and I don’t get along, all that well. Get […]

Sky or Skies
In a post before this one, I titled it: Partly Cloudy Sky. Why am I pointing this out? Because what irks the shit out of me, is when the local and national TV, along with the radio weather forecasters, always, without a doubt, say “skies” when it should be “sky”. When we look up at […]
Crazy Weather
The weather here in Massachusetts has gone haywire. At 9:00 am, the temp is 42F/6C, with a windchill of 35F/5C. It feels more like March 26, not near the end of the month of May. Crazy weather…
