For What Its Worth

Monday’s weather was strange. Rain, snow, freezing rain, constantly flipping around. It was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type of day.

Miserable, shitty weather, means I will resort to being the ‘hall monitor,’ thing, and do my walking in the halls and stairways. The plus side of it, is not having to wear a coat, and also get to smell the different aromas of the various meals, that are being concocted. Does it make me hungry,Continue reading “Walking Outdoors Is On Hold”

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 weatherContinue reading “Spring”

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.

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

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.

Sky or Skies

In a post before this one, I titled it: Partly Cloudy Sky. Why am I pointing this out?
