We finally have the next weather patterns coming in from the west and not sucking cold air out of Alaska. Rain all ya want, just no snow! I need to do some shop time and it's like working inside an icy beer can when it snows. Of course, my neighbor who snow boards and ski's wants it as cold as possible. Screw 'em! If he wants me to do his valve adjustment on his RX3, he's gotta sacrifice, right????

The next weather front is coming through starting tonight and continuing through Saturday. Might get interesting for a bit.

Break in the weather- grilling!
It did warm up close to 40 degrees F for a couple of days. I got the driveway cleared off, Now tonight there is another inch of snow and temps are plummeting again
 BUT, I got a stack of hamburgers and a couple of steaks grilled at peak high temp today (38F) I used some charcoal pulled from the box stove (hardwood charcoal) from emptying the ashes in the morning...YUMMM!  37F2024Jan18grilling1.JPG 37F2024Jan18grilling2.JPG The back yard is still snowed over, so I did this with my little Weber Smoky Joe grill in the driveway

We had another 1.5" of snow overnight and temps are in single digits. Another wind chill advisory for the next two nights followed by a warm up with rain. Winter has entered the "Cold grey bucket of suck" stage.

Here in NC, our HIGH tomorrow is supposed to be 32. Not an ounce of precipitation though. I think I'm ready to start wintering in South Florida. Perhaps I can find a shack in the keys.

Flew back from the keys to NY last night, first real family vacation in many years. Talk about a temperature shock, had breakfast at 80 degrees on the beach and dinner in a frozen wasteland haha. Back to reality I guess.

This weather event was lame! 3-8" of snow was in the forecast. We might have gotten 2. I'm not yearning for snow necessarily, but I would like at least one good snow day with my kids before they're all outta the house. They're slipping away from me.

My buddy and his wife are currently visiting his daughter in WV. They were supposed to fly out this morning from Dulles. Flight postponed, now cancelled. Next flight, late Sunday.

We are also going to get rain in a few days, highs in the upper 30s and low 40s. Not exactly normal January/February weather. We live in extremes these days. Can't say I will miss the teens and 20s at ALL.

Back in the deep freeze for one more day. It's -10 right now and we hope to see 18 for the high. Tomorrow looks like what they call 'a wintery mix'; rain and snow; aka, crappy weather. The rest of the week is supposed to be near forty and wet. Buster dog will get to go on his long walks again.
