Greetings, gang.
Remember the Day of Infamy.
Currently it's 12 degrees outside my window heading for a balmy 6 by this evening. Typical after last night's 6 inch snowfall. Winds will also be picking up to around 20 mph later on making it feel even colder. Then 40 by Tuesday.
Went to great-grandson's birthday party yesterday afternoon and had fun visiting with family. The trip home was a little exciting in the snowstorm. About 40 mph was top speed. Only part of the road visible was the track for the left hand tires with occasional glimpses of the stripes. Most everyone was going slowly except one idiot who decided he needed to pass the person ahead of him. Drawback was that visibility was less than a quarter mile when I appeared in his windshield. Yeah, he was headed straight at me. Blood pressure went up and the vocabulary went in the gutter. Then when I got home I tried to send a text notifying everyone of my safe arrival when I discovered that my phone had decided to put itself in airplane mode. Grrr!
I went out about 9 last night to clean the sidewalks before the temperature dropped. This morning all I need to do is clear the end of the driveway and then a quick run over the sidewalks as another light dusting of snow arrived sometime overnight. Also on the agenda for today is to watch my last F1 race. Next season the races are moving to Apple TV and I'm not going to pay another $14 a month to watch them.
Speaking of money (I was. See previous paragraph and pay better attention!) gas continues dropping. Down to $2.39 as I came back in to town yesterday afternoon.
All stay safe.
Tom
