It’s cold. Lots of sunshine with a high today of 17. Low this morning in single digits plus a wind chill below freezing. We will have the same temps for the next couple of days. Still some snow laying around in the shaded areas in the yard and around town.
Gym this morning. This afternoon I went over to Donna’s to craft.
We had a mix of rain/sleet/freezing rain this morning but it did not last long. Temps were just above freezing when I checked around 9 am. Pat was unsure about getting out of her driveway but mine was just slushy so I opened the store. Tomorrow the temps plunge back down into the teens for highs and single digits for lows with some more precipitation falling.
We were busy off and on all day. One of our best days so far this month with all the nasty weather. We finally did over $100 with several big sales to help out. Pat and Wendy came in around noon. We had several donations come in the door to work on.
I had around 4 to 6 inches of snow at the house yesterday and over night. It’s mostly stopped now but the winds are gusting in the 30 to 40 mph range and blowing it all over the place. Mid 20’s today then back down into the teens tonight. Wind chill is down in the teens.
I filled the bird feeders yesterday afternoon so they are good for now and so am I.
This morning I vacuumed and dusted the downstairs and the stairs, did the bathroom, etc. I do the bathroom every other week but I only vacuum and dust every couple of months.
I’ll do a diamond painting or color this afternoon.
Another Friday and more snow. This time we are in the 4 to 6 inch range of predicted accumulation. Temperatures are in the mid 20’s but the winds are calm right now.
We did open the store. Snow started falling around noon. We closed just a little after one. The main roads were already heavily salted so they were mostly clear but started to get covered in spots. Side roads were already getting covered.
We only had a couple of inches of snow by last night. Over night and into this morning we had some freezing rain on top to makes things rather hazardous around the county. It has warmed up into the mid 30’s but temperatures will drop this afternoon and those lovely 40 mph wind gusts will show back up.
I had all the decorations packed and put away but late Saturday afternoon. Yesterday I started on the deep clean of the rooms that I always do after Christmas in my bathroom and the bedroom. This morning I did the den and this afternoon will do the dinning room/foyer.
Yesterday afternoon I drug the Christmas tree down to the woods for the birds and animals.
We had maybe an inch or less of snow last night before the squall blew on through. However, today is nasty with lows in the teens last night and highs today in the low to mid 20’s. Winds are still gusting to 50 mph blowing snow all over the place.
Roads in parts of the county are iffy and with the winds we decided not to open the store today.
So, I will spend the day taking down the Christmas decorations since I am “weathered” in.
An early night. I usually meet friends after the bookstore closes on Friday nights so don’t normally do a post.
However, we had blowing snow and sunshine all day but as usual nothing was sticking. Forecast had been for cold and windy but no precipitation. Around 3:15 the snow started coming down heavy and continued to get worse to white out conditions.
We closed the store at 3:30 and I headed for home. We are predicted to get 1 to 3 inches with winds 50 mph plus.
It was slow at the store but we worked on the big donation that came in last week.
