All this talk of Costco....never been in one.. I always thought it was bulk purchases aficionados. Never h a d the need for that. Am I missing something?

...and I go to Walmart for cat food.. that's the only place that stocks the food the cats like... other than that....I cannot say what else I purchase.

Groceries are between two local businesses....a Harris Teeter and a Giant..probably local/tegional..regional.

Are you all bulk purchasing or are the deals at Costco and Walmart that different?

29F mostly cloudy.
Storm rolling in around midnight...3-5 inches turning to rain 🙄 winds 40-50mph :( storm ending around 3pm.
Quick 4 hours at store this afternoon well let's just say recliner feels darn good.

Plans for the evening...little to nothing.

Enjoy your evening all.

Buppies, hope you're feeling better.

gstrom, beautiful snow photo, and with the temps you mentioned, should be beautiful for a long time.

RNG, the Costco Exec mbrshp 2% cash back breaks even at a $250 per month spending rate. With two of us, that's easy, and especially in years of a major purchase, such as tires, or the new washer, or Polywood Adirondack chairs we ordered online last year. Some purchases don't qualify, such as that Jim Beam.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 20.5C and it's presently only 20.8C, overcast and 'windy'. There was a surprising 1.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. Yesterday's temp topped out at 34C!

Yesterday's tasks/projects completed prior to the soaring temperature, and the Doctor appointment went quickly and I was home by 1730... of course there will be a follow-up appointment (in Launie) come February. Once these 'specialists' get their hooks into you there's no letting go.

Nothing really 'on' for today.

That's about it, take care all.

The next storm (the one I have been watching for all day) has arrived.

6:28 PM EST Friday 12 January 2024
Another winter storm expected tonight into Saturday.Hazards:Heavy snow. Total snowfall accumulations of 15 to 30 cm (6 to 12") possible. Peak snowfall rates of 3 to 5 cm (1 to 1.96") per hour. Strong wind gusts resulting in significantly reduced visibility in blowing snow. Timing:This evening to Saturday afternoon. Discussion:Snow is forecast to begin this evening and will quickly become heavy at times tonight, before transitioning to periods of light snow Saturday morning. Strong easterly winds gusting up to 70 km/h (42 mph) will combine with this heavy snow to cause significantly reduced visibility at times. In the wake of this system, much colder Arctic air will become established across the region. A multi-day lake effect snow event is expected for locations east of the Great Lakes bringing additional snowfall accumulations to some communities. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
I got all my supplies in already big bro. I ain't going nowhere.
The translations to feet and miles from the dreaded metric system is mine .
I guess I am plowing on Saturday late, maybe.
