Hey there, Kathy.
The wind did die down and the cold front took it’s time getting here. Not too chilly today though it was gloomy. We did get a little bit of rain overnight but not much. Might get a little more tomorrow. Monday through Wednesday is when we expect good, soaking rain.
I saw that y’all had a little warmer temps up there today. Upper teens rather than zero. Still way too cold! LOL
I thought it looked like it was clearing over your way a little bit. It did clear to the east just after sunset because the rising moon was visible.
It cleared off here after sunset and not the temp’s dropping like a stone. Tomorrow will be right chilly, but not as cold as Anchorage. LOL
Darned work, just had to get in the way. Never fails, does it?
Ouch, your gas is up there, isn’t it? I noticed when I went to the PO earlier that gas went down 10 cents here since Thursday. I have to get real gas and it’s $3.49 now. Ethanol garbage is cheaper, of course, but that will kill my car.
The cars are full right now and by the time I need gas, the price will probably go up again.
Hey there radu!
Did it get as cold there today as was predicted? It was chilly here but not awful. I didn’t see much of the kitties, so I know it wasn’t warm enough to sit in the sun.
Down 10 cents...nice! The next few days are supposed to be in the upper 20s, with snow, then single digits and zero next weekend. Time will tell.
Howdy, luvie.
The cold front took its time moving through so it didn’t get too cold. It was obvious when the front came through because the skies cleared - right around sunset. It was almost 60 this afternoon and is 39 now, on its way down to upper 20s. Tomorrow will be mid 40s.
It sounds like your kitties were making good use of their new toasty beds. Can’t blame ‘em!
Glad it took its time. Gave you some time to enjoy nice comfortable temps before becoming uncomfortable. Hope you can stay in with YOUR kitties tomorrow when its cold!
I’m still thinking of getting one of those self-heating pads to put under my mattress pad. If it’s good enough for the kitties, it’s good enough for their hooman. LOL!
I’m expecting gas to go back up at any time. I’ll take any decrease in the meantime.
Upper 20s? That WILL feel like a heat wave to y’all. LOL Now if that snow will just show up too. You need a thicker blanket than you have now.
I only made a quick run to the PO today so wasn’t out much to enjoy the weather. There’s nowhere I need to go tomorrow so I’ll be plenty warm in here with the cats.
But hmmmmmm, I might want to get a short shopping list together and take care of that tomorrow. It’s supposed to be pretty wet Monday through Wednesday and I hate hauling wet groceries into the house.
You’ll probably roast under that heavy quilt if you put one of those pads under your mattress pad. :-)
You’re probably right, but it just sounds so cozy! LOL!
Indeed, getting out when it’s chilly and dry is waaaaaay better than getting out when it’s wet and soggy. Don’t blame you a bit!
It sounds cozy but reality might have you getting rid of the pad or using lighter covers. LOL
Had I known the forecast for next week would change, I’d have made the store run today. Monday had low rain chances but now they’re high. Great because we need the rain but not great for shopping. I always get stuck waaaaaaay out in the parking lot. LOL I rarely find a spot close to the door.
Well, if I hate it I can always save it for the kitties, when the one they have gets beyond help. LOL!
I think it’s great that you’ll get rain. You really need it. But not for the trip to the grocery store. That’s just messy.
It never hurts to have an extra on hand.
I’m excited by tonight’s weather report. They predict us to get 4 to 6 inches next week and do we ever need it!
I’m totally jealous of all that rain. Half that amount would give us our yearly average, which is 13 inches.
We’ll see if we really get that much. I hope we do. I haven’t sat down to figure out how much below normal we are but I know it’s pretty low. We’ve had little rain for months now and this will help get the water table up.
How's everyone doing this morning?
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Was it a nippy day for your outing with Gizmo yesterday?
Fingers crossed! Now I’d better sleep. See ya tomorrow! I hate going to bed early! LOL!
