Things You May Not Want to Know

Things You May Not Want to Know
Another chilly and gray day came and went, but at least it wasn't bitterly cold like we've seen in the Januarys of years past. For a better portion of the morning, there was a very light mist that was coming down, which had me worried it was going to get heavier and create a dangerous layer of sleet, but thankfully it stopped. My client arrived … continue reading

It Sickens Me At Times

It Sickens Me At Times
Today was just a spill-over from yesterday with additional clean-up after our snowplows left piles at driveways and curbside entrances. I was hoping to see some sunshine, but that never happened, but on a positive note, we're now on the down-hill slide out of yet another of my most disliked months of the year. I spent an additional two or more h … continue reading

In A State Of Devolution

In A State Of Devolution
Well, it was a nothing less than remarkable day with having awakened and found at least four or five inches of snow on the ground, and it was still coming down. Unfortunately, the City plows hadn't cleared my street before I left for work, so I had to hold my breath while driving until I got to a more main artery which'd been plowed. The first t … continue reading

Trees Which Drop Thousands of Tiny Leaves

Trees Which Drop Thousands of Tiny Leaves
For strangest of reasons, I was almost certain there'd be snow on the ground this morning, but instead, there was a light mist which had me wondering if it would later turn into sleet, but thankfully it didn't. Just about everyone I spoke with today, had something to say about the coming snow, and the last I heard, we're likely going to be getting … continue reading

Taken Away By Putin’s Follies

Taken Away By Putin’s Follies
Another damp and gray day arrived, and since it was below freezing this morning, I could see what rain water that didn't either dried-up or run off, had turned into very slippery surfaces, but what has me concerned all the more, is how dangerous that ice will be with the expected five or more inches of snow atop it after tomorrow's storm. All I can … continue reading

There’d Be Additional Limp-Tailed Excuses

There’d Be Additional Limp-Tailed Excuses
I'm not sure when it actually started raining in the night, but as I was driving to work, I could see we'd already received enough to create curb-side waterways flowing to the storm sewers. Once it started getting light outside, I noticed the rainfall growing heavier, which made me wonder how much snow we would've been getting if it were below free … continue reading

Times When We’ve Wished

Times When We’ve Wished
It was certainly good to find our temps above freezing most of the day, along with the sun shining. The wind was blowing, but not to the degree of it being unbearable. It appears we're to be getting precipitation in the form of rain tomorrow, which'll be one more of the many examples of global warming. With it being another Sunday morning, my fi … continue reading

An Un-Forgotten Memory

An Un-Forgotten Memory
The hoar frost was another beauty to behold this morning, and once the sun rose high enough, I was out driving around looking for some shots worth sharing. As I've mentioned before, winter landscapes like today's, makes winter more tolerable for me, so each time they arrive, I'm out enjoying the views. After I finished with my round of photo-tak … continue reading

A Forest Fire With a Squirt Gun

A Forest Fire With a Squirt Gun
Even though our temps weren't really that low, the chilling dampness felt like it was penetrating every layer of clothing I had on. At first I thought it was me, but just about everyone I spoke with today, was having similar experiences. At least the temps will be higher for the weekend. After I had all my early morning duties taken care of, I t … continue reading

Cyber Criminals Are Getting Better At Creating

Cyber Criminals Are Getting Better At Creating
With our wind out of the north, sure made for a biting-cold, damp and dark day, which was fine by me because I didn't have to be out in it since I had plenty to keep me busy within the confines of my office. Upon arrival at office, the first thing I did was go back to my storage area and get a small bucket of poultry grit to spread on that build … continue reading
