Good evening, Pro...ready for a restful weekend?

We are awaiting snow in the coming days.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and thanks for the tunes. ((HUGS))

Quite a bit of sun here today, but it was pea soup fog when I went out for my appointment.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening DJs & Thank you!

*The House Is A Rockin'*

[radu]

I could see the thick fog over on your side of town on the Lake Hood cam earlier today. No fog at the airports but it was cloudy for a long time. The sun finally broke out there around 1 p.m. but the mountains weren’t visible for a while afterwards.
Not much fun having to drive in fog that thick.

[PROCON]

Hiya radu, no storm activity here only light rain.

How's things your way?

Son's back over tonight for dinner and hanging out.
