I get it.
It was in the low 30's and 20's for a while and then just shot up to 40 and above. but it looks like back to cold next week. It has been windy lately also. Anyone see our tumbleweeds?

Quite a few people made that suggestion. Not something I would want to do over here, even this time of year.
I am sure the owners of the vehicles stuck underneath are grateful that didn't happen.
But it would be fun to see the tumbleweeds burning.

I just came back inside and I was thinking what a nice night it is out there, it's just that it's so unnatural for this time of year. I had snow flurries just the other day, it was very pretty. Big fat, heavy wet flakes, the kind of snow that clings to everything. It only lasted a nano second and looked like a heavy frost.

When the humidity is up and its warm you get big flakes, when its cold and low humidity its small flakes. I'm not sure how Clang fits in with all this so I can only ponder the possibilities.

It's been the coldest for the longest I can remember, finally went for a ride today this cold has been wicked bad. My last ride was about five days ago and I ran over a snake, didn't mean too thought it was a stick I felt bad and hope it lived.

Always aim for the head of the stick.

That's why 98% of all sharpshooters are men. They have been aiming all their lives.

Hmmm
I would be pretty grossed out if I ran over a snake. EWWWW!

Today was sunny
There is snow left over from it snowing yesterday and last night
but the local roads are mostly clear
Next week is supposed to get below 0
we will see what happens when it arrives.

Another big storm coming this weekend. Of course it is, because I planned to go to a mini beerfest on Saturday. Please snow wait until 9pm when the beerfest is over.

38 degrees this morning, seriously this is the coldest year I can remember. I took a folding chair up to the peak of the mountain yesterday so I can sit in the sun and read.

It's Spring here, my trees are budding, daffodils are poking up, the forsythia down the road is blooming. Jesus Christ. I had my windows open all weekend and the only reason I didn't turn the air on is because it's mid-January and I refuse to on principal alone. This shit is insane.
