Good evening folks, just got back from taking my wife and our 3 kids and their spouses on a Carribean cruise. Did you miss me? After 8 wonderful days, we were actually glad to be coming home, just not to the weather we are having. 33F with rain changing to freezing rain overnight.

good Sunday morning to all.
65 degrees going to 72 today in rain, pretty strange weather.
Most of the first wave of rain went North of us and into New England but this second batch
looks headed for us later today. Good day to get chores done inside, or to watch the game...

we are sitting right at 40 degrees now and it is calling for rain all day and into the night.
Temps seem to be holding above freezing for today so maybe zero ice for us.

21 this morning with snow moving in looks like some plowing in my future.we will have a high 24 with snow through the day and night.

the wind chimes are dinging away, playing a variety of melodies behind the house, in a steady 20mph wind.
the front is bearing down on DC and Baltimore now, will cross the Chesapeake ,and then might wake Toppop up.
Buppies is probably getting soaked right now. But it's so remarkably warm out that it appears the warmth is going North far enough to
warm up New England. But definitely not Wisconsin. I wonder if snow is the secret ingredient in Wisconsin's cheese...

Drank my fist cup of coffee. 63° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 78 with mostly sunny skies all day. Yesterday turned out to be a nice day after the wind died down. Should be another one of those relaxing day today.
Good Morning All.

36F steady 6 mph wind,snow taken beating maybe 3 to 4 inches left many southern areas south side bare ground. :)

Finger cross no freezing rain but I have feeling not to be later on this evening.

HAH! It's warmer here Ron!
momentarily...

I'd be interested to know how total rain levels this year compare vs last year and maybe long term. Just seems to be wetter now.
At least in these parts. Been a long time since the corn has dried up...

dave1949--Did you happen to live there for the Great Ice Storm of 1998? Might have been 1997. Power was out for two weeks for many people and a bazillion trees were bent over back to the ground. Power lines down everywhere, trees across all the roads and if you couldn't take care of yourself you didn't get taken care of. Point is, get the extra fuel can. :D

We were living in Wells during the '98 Ice Storm and were not affected. Had two or three tall, skinny saplings bend over and that was it. The damage started about 30 miles north of us. Sharon was teaching in Gorham at the time and it was a mess there and further north.

It's 26*F now, been hanging pretty steady in that range the past 12 hours. Off and on rain, freezing mist and sleet. No heavy ice accumulation so far. If the rain stays away mostly we will be fine. If not, it could get ugly. The conditions are right for icing, every little rain band is adding to the accumulation.

I did dig out the extra fuel can yesterday. :) The 4.5 gal tank on the generator is full and I have another 15 gallons in cans. There is another 30 gallons in the car's gas tanks. That would last us a long, long time since we don't need the generator to stay warm or cook.
