Good evening, Publius....I hope it’s fairly warm in your neck of the woods. Lots of cold going on in the USA.

Good evening, radu....and are you cold too?

It’s 12 right now and so foggy that I can barely see the parking lot. I’m going to try to creep home, but treating myself to hot food along the way.

I’m off for home....creeping through the fog.

A couple callers to the radio said you are on the intersections practically before you know it. This should be fun.

Whew, BRRRRR! Yes, it’s cold here too. 23 degrees now with a wind chill in the low teens. They’ll be in the single digits overnight. Not as cold as up there but most unpleasant.

That fog is weird looking from the Denali Tower cam. The cam is clear of it, looking down on it. Can’t fun to drive through. Be careful. And get something REALLY hot to help keep you warm the rest of the way home. :-)

((HUGZ)) backatcha!

That’s good to hear.

I see you’re warm enough to have rain rather than snow. Lucky you! No snow here but it’s more than cold enough for it. Supposed to get some this weekend though they can’t decide if it’ll be a little or a lot.

I’m so ready for Spring.

Evening, Kathy!

Brrr! Getting dressed up to leave. But you’re probably used to temperature in the teens.

You may be stuck with it for a bit. It’s supposed to take a week, but it’s working its way back up to 30 here.

By the time I made it to the store, the fog was lifting on the east side. Then it got better and better the closer I got to home.

Howdy, radu! (((hugs)))

Hope your day was a good one! It was really cold here all day...never got above freezing and we even had a layer of frozen fog this morning that caused over 130 accidents across the area. Needless to say, west Texans can’t drive in any amount of ice. LOL!

Did y’all get snow or rain or a pretty day?
