Nothing but rain here as well and I'm not complaining.

Shush.

Shush.

52 currently and bright sun, but due to go up to 72. Going south for the weekend where it should be sunny and 70

I lived in Colorado for three years. Loved every minute of it, but couldn't stay away from New England and the ocean. I'm going to need clams from the Red Wing today thanks to @GlenFeatherstone . Curse you, delicious bivalve AND your human ambassadors!

Arizona does a lot of things well, fried fish is NOT one of them. We may or may not be near Boston in June on the pretense of visiting my family, but lets be honest.....it's a food tour-starting with Su Changs in Peabody. (Oh yeah, Chinese food here bites the big one, too) You couldnt pay me to move back, but I will visit for cuisine.

We hit 80 degrees here yesterday and supposed to be 82 today. Would be the first time ever Nashville had two consecutive 80 degree days in February.

Okay, you're out.

How's the little guy? (My nephew)

How's the little guy? (My nephew)

Had his 18-month checkup this morning. Doing great, minus the part where he knows that office means he's getting a shot.

You know you’ve been outside too long when you call your boss to tell him you’re not coming in tonight and you slur your words like you just got home at 8am from an after hours bar.

Hypothermia creeps up on you.

Maybe Jack Edwards has been suffering chronic hypothermia

It’s 64 here on the way up to 67.
For the first time in history, the Philly area has made it to mid Feb with no measurable snow accumulation.

You shush too

I just shoveled about half of what I needed to and gave up. There's only about an inch and a half here but it's all water.

Trying to book a task rabbit to finish the driveway. The pavement is super uneven so it's hard to shovel even light snow. This shit is impossible.

Lower to mid 20s here in southern NH.

I went back out to clear the stuff that has accumulated on my car since this morning. Pure slop. I haven't seen a sander out in my complex which means it will be a sheet of ice in the morning.

It’s going to be almost 40 and sunny tomorrow. I’ll clear off my car, throw some ice melt down, and let the sun do its thing. I don’t need to go anywhere today, and I cleared the walk, sidewalk, and mouth of the driveway.

Everything out here was frozen solid. About 2-3 inches of snow but sheet of ice underneath.
Shoveled the snow.
Through 50 lbs of ice melt on the driveway , walk and steps.
Waited an hour and then went back out and scraped the ice/slush. Heavy as a sonofabitch.
Thank God for Yak Trax.

Yak Trax are a must have for folks in New England (and other places that get snow/ ice). I can walk down my steep driveway when it has ice.

I actually got a few things done today. I got my taxes done . This was the first time in over 50 years I did not have to pay Mass tax. It was the first full year with only Social Security as income.

I also went to the town hall and registered the new car. I got new plates as the old ones were 13 years old and rusty. The Crosstrek did well in the snow. It is my first "all wheel drive" car.

Oatmeal cookies with raisins for you

Actually they are good if they are homemade.

I enjoy a good oatmeal cookie but I put chocolate chips in and not raisins

The Bride makes oatmeal, chocolate chips and walnuts for me. Slightly over bakes them. How I like them.
