Yo radu!

The weather was sunny and I did run a number of errands this morning before going back into relaxation mode.

You get everything done you wanted to? Kittehs cooperating?

Hey, there, radu!

Sure did! Looking at those pictures made me cold. Sort of like watching the Decorahs tonight. Brrrrr!

Sounds like a pretty good day! Got things accomplished and had time to kick back. And you had nive weather.

Not so pretty here today. Drizzled most of the day.
Had to make a quick run to the store and have done a little housework. Laundry going now. Such fun. LOL

Kittehs have been fairly well-behaved today, for a change. We’ll see how long that lasts!

The pix made me cold too. LOL!

I feel so bad for the Decorahs. They’re getting hammered. Seeing the ice on their faces ...... :-(

Good evening, radu...hope you got some more dry and the ground is ready for more rain.

I’m hoping a truck load of snow has been removed from my front yard. More snow is coming and the plow guy has nowhere to put it. It is not legal to add to the pile in the middle of the cul-de-sac.

I am off for home. FINALLY got the uploads of time done. Many issues, and one was my fault.

spent many a night freezing my...goodness off on the Mississippi range Brim Frost was the name of the exercises back then.

Just as cold today.

No dry today but not too much rain. It just drizzled all day. There’s a batch of rain building up west of us that might come down a bit harder tonight though.
A little more tomorrow, then dry until Saturday.

Wow, you’ve had more snow than I realized. It sure will be nice if the pile in your yard IS smaller when you get home. They do need somewhere to put the fresh snow that’s coming.

You wanted snow. :-)

It just about made me shiver to see them, but they are used to it as it happens every year! Thank goodness those feathers keep them toasty warm underneath!

It did make me shiver. Used to it or not, it can’t be fun for them having little icicles hanging off their faces.

I know! Just hope it melts soon! You know, there are tons of eagles living in Alaska, so they must be a hearty bunch to bear THAT kind of cold!

I hope it melts soon, too, and that there’s a reasonably early Spring this year. Not just for the birds but for everyone living up there. I imagine they’re all sick of the cold and snow by now.

Gotta be really hardy to survive winters in Alaska. Can’t be easy for eagles to find food but they obviously do.

Looks like there are lots of areas where they can get to the sea to fish and then mooch off of fishermen who love eagles. LOL!

Did y’all have a pretty day there? Ours was windy. Again. I think that’s going to be the daily story till about May. LOL!

Welcome to the Canteen, Ambrosia...that’s a good bit of wind.

How did the contents of the shed fare? Good luck finding all the pieces.

Thanks for sharing your storm experience. Stay safe!

They do have fishermen buddies who enjoy feeding them. That helps for sure. :-)

It was a dreary, drizzly day today and a little breezy. A cold front is coming through tomorrow night and it won’t be fun Wed. and Thurs. Highs in the mid 40s and lows in the 20s. Hoping for a breeze both nights so we won’t have frost on the flowers.

Yep, this time of year we can expect a lot of windy days with the fronts moving through over and over again. Then come summer, when it’s hotter ‘n hades, we won’t be able to beg a breeze. LOL

Welcome to the Canteen, ASOC....the interior can get mighty cold. I can’t imagine how cold you must have been at times.

I couldn’t find it online, but the news guy said we were WAY behind, but now are only a foot behind after the last couple weeks.

And I am minus a truckload of snow. I will try to remember to take a picture in the morning...it should be light enough.

Yikes! It’s going to be pretty darn cold there. We got the cold front, but not AS cold.

Sorry today was dreary. I’d trade anytime. Yesterday, our humidity was at 3%. That’s almost obscene! Ugh
