ABOVE. above w/ sun and light winds

The day is damp and ugly but - of course, as I type - the sun breaks out and changes eveything

Hope springs or limps into view. However, the wind is now roaring through the trees - branches and snow or ice is moving sideways.

the Art of Hibernating

 Post # 3 291

" when you're feeling sad and lonely .... " were the lyrics

But hibernation is how Puxatawny Phil and bretehren make it through the winter. Now, I cannot say how ' sad or lonely' Phil gets in winter but sleep is the key.

We ordered, the deep dish Little Ceasar s ' Canadian ' for dinner.  tad greasy w/ bacon bits, sausage, mushroom and bacon. Well, tastes meaty and is salty and greasy enough to delight.

I read somewhere that if you cook at home don't sweat the oil that you use etc. on the grounds that you couldn't ever equal what they do to your food in a restaurant. Truth. We couldn't make a piiza as greasy as the one last night

Cold and sunny. We need to get through approx 7 days of cold to bitter cold and then ....... the weather is suppsoed to break. I decided to take photos of the livingroom window view, I figured good scenery is good sceenry < nobody knows that you'll freeze your face off out there >

" Oh, the weather Outside .....

 is frightful < - ly normal > 

but we'll get along - hibernating < oops ! error - he changed the lyrics >

Mayhaps an inch fell. Light and crystal - line, sticks a bit to the ground.

I keep the wrap - around deck clear for emergencies, the kitchen has sliding doors onto the deck. I'm probably the only one on the street who worries.

Meta had a steep fall in price. Meta is the parent for Facebook ?, any how its big. The pundits measured the loss in billions $. You see, if they ahd named it Omicron - well, it would still be soaring < around the world >

Hard to ID

 what fell, yesterday afternoon into night - however, looks like snow on the ground - now. Really, sounded like pellets.

We will get cold < sub freezing for 4 days > then a slight rise

A dull day in the offing, seems our fate. A winter wonder - land, for sure - sweeping panoramas of white, broken only by the trees.

Waiting for the Snow

 and crap

The air is damp ish and the day is gray. This is the atmosphere of pregnant weather - just holding on

I ventured out to shop. The Superstore was typically almost empty.

The parking lot had snow mountains everywhere.

In and out, very easy. no line ups.

Friends said ' stock up before the storm ' and lay in supplies
I made sure beer and wine will last

We got rain that sounded a little solid - on the skylights.

Best Version

 " I want you to be the best version of yourself " spoken to Vears or Captain Marvel by her commander     < Jude Law >

On its own, sounds like it s life affirming - positive

In retrospect, one could ask ' why can't you be you ' Is self improvement critical to life - maybe

The day is trending to warm - above freezing BUT a mess of rain - snow - rain is coming and the amounts are variable for a whole slew of reasons. Guesses range from downright ugly to a hit or miss situation. Again. Cold air out of the Prairie West is meeting moist Gulf air somewhere over the middle U.S. states and hooking North.

The days after snow / rain are return to cold. Brett Anderson at Accuweather is saying ......

JA 31 - FE 6  stormy
