Good evening/morning, Mooch...it IS important to see good things these days.

Hope you are enjoying a mild winter, and can get out and about if needed.

I kinda figured you would spend much time out there. Not much fun in that kind of weather. Still a good day for Gizmo since he got to spend some time with Ringo.

Sounds like I finally got some winter and you are going to have it a lot colder than we will. It’s 32 here now. Peaches just came in a few minutes ago and his poor ears were so cold. LOL!

You’ve been wanting winter. Now you get some. LOL

We AE quite a bit farther north than you are and I’m surprised our temperature difference will be so small.

I reckon I’m not going anywhere tomorrow since the roads will be glazed with ice. When I had to make a run into town earlier tonight, the roads were like rivers. The hard rain just ended and now there’s some sleet falling.

Man! You really are getting a double dose, huh! Glad you got your running done before the sleet started. Maybe it’ll turn to snow and you’ll get some nice pictures.

I tried to drive on the interstate in a sleet storm once and ended up sliding along the median sideways. I was so scared the car would start tumbling! But thankfully, it didn’t.

It’s dry as a bone here. I think I’d welcome some kind of wet stuff even if it was white. Maybe I’ll dream of snow. LOL! I gotta go so that would be a nice quiet dream.

No now for us this time. Just a little sleet on top of all the rain we got. The road we’re on is just hilly enough, there’s no going anywhere on ice. I did have plans tomorrow but not now!

Whew, you were so lucky your car didn’t tumble when you slid. That was a heart-stopping experience.

It stinks that the rain keeps missing you when these fronts roll through. You do live in the desert but still ........

Sweet dreams of snow. :-)
I’m about to head off to dreamland, too, but will be dreaming of warm sunshine. LOL
