    Warmer today....high 30s for several hrs, plus sunshine. Some significant melting in some areas. Makes me happy for even that. 😁 A do over would be great, melting that is.

    Howling winds last night. Woke to 3* as feel like! 😱. Made executive decision to go out in a short while later. Made homemade batch of pancakes. Ate & enough for tomorrow -- when I also don't expect to start a vehicle, same as today. Snow is overall 3-4" but drifts of 8-10" around. Winds...

    @FarmerJamie you already have what we're being threatened with -- a huge amount of snow! It is bitter cold!! Hoping I'm prepared enough for animal chores. It will be challenging IF we get 6+ inches. 😵‍💫 Wait & see what tonight brings. But, coffee now! 😁 Talking to a neighbor yesterday...

    My life has slowed rather than changed significantly. This is a place to socialize to a degree -- especially if you're home more that "out & about". A comfortable check in place.

    What's for dinner?

    Tonight I pulled a jar of ham I'd canned last spring and heated some, also some whole wheat crackers to chew. Was delicious ham. 👍 After chores at 15* this morn, a mad rush to work, home & more chores, still cold....well, I needed heat & eat!! 😵‍💫 Made the canning worth the time!!

    Well I wouldn't expect less that a horrid summer, given the winter I've had here 🤬 Everything is stressed -- people, plants & animals.

    @CLSranch THANKS....car had plenty of antifreeze. Actually, about 3 hrs later the sun had melted the re-iced glass and the heater was back in operation. Temps had risen 15* by then. Winds had dropped off. Heater had worked fine day before. It was an unexpected happening 😲 NOW we had been...
