Out of Season

Out of Season
When I awakened around midnight and looked outdoors, I was shocked to see it snowing and even more so when I got up this morning.  I distinctly remember reading the forecast several days ago and it mentioned "possible" light snow.  Well, I'd say to … continue reading

From his Tailgate

Frigid Friday

Frigid Friday
As I was driving to work I viewed yet another spectacular set of sun dogs in the eastern sky.  This morning's was a repeat of a set I spotted about two weeks ago.  Never before in my life have I seen them as large as they have been this year.  It … continue reading

Used to Laugh
Thank goodness the wind stopped blowing, but soon realized this morning I had to do some re-shoveling due to overnight drifting. At least the sun was shining brightly which made the cold more bearable.  Having not seen it in some days, it seemed all … continue reading

In spite of all the complaining being done about this snowstorm, at least we didn't get as much as predicted.  I'd say we ended up with somewhere around four inches on average, but with the wind blowing again, there's definitely been some drifting g … continue reading

Like a Quiet Kitten

Like a Quiet Kitten
I guess I was off by about 24 hours when thinking it was going to snow last night when now seeing it starting to snow.  There were appointments cancelled earlier today because of a winter weather advisory which claimed we were supposed to be getting … continue reading

Sun Doggies

Sun Doggies
We certainly had quite the cold day, but at least the sun was shining, and if only that wind would've gone down, I would say it could've been a pleasant after-the-storm day. One positive thing was my being able to take the above photo of this morning … continue reading

The More you Blink

The More you Blink
It looks like tonight's going to be another hellacious one where this Alberta Clipper is going to be moving a whole lot of snow around, and definitely not where we want it to be tomorrow morning.  Once again, I'd say we're a good month late in havin … continue reading
