In-line with what I was getting at in our discussion of the other day. People tell me about the crippling mounds of snow that are coming, or the extreme rainfalls that will cause flash flooding, or the oppressive heat that can kill you, etc.. They see it on the weather network and it is often a more severe forecast than what I had seen from Environment Canada. Often it turns out to be exaggerated. It seems as though they take everything in the data to the extremes of what is possible rather than focusing on the probable with their forecasts. Click-bait is my guess. They are a for-profit network who needs to drive revenue by not only getting people to look, but also by keeping them looking.

Yep, here in Cedar City, you can see what the weather guessers are saying a week out, and it changes daily. And until it is in the air (Heat/Cold), or on the ground (rain/snow), you won't have a clue to what it is going to be!
 
Morning Ray & All from sunny, but hazy, Southern Utah!

Currently it is 43F, up from 20F, and heading for 49F. To the south I can see some clouds, so I'm not sure if they are heading our way. No breeze at this time, it might make it up to 6 or 7mph, coming from the WNW.

RIP Dana Teel An old riding buddy.

Never got to the Tractor Shed's electrical yesterday, "there are Christmas display stuff to get down and out..." So much for my plans for yesterday! :rolleyes:

Yeah, I know, not "really" that festive, but what do you expect from a GRINCH? :well1:

So, now that is out of my way, I hope to get to the electrical today, once it warms up! :pray1:

Boiled eggs, bacon, toast & OJ to start the morning. Pepsi(s) to come later.

Anyone :bl13:, have a great day on the roads! :hat3:

Evening all, and thanks for the startup Ray.

Would have been here sooner but got a call from my bother early this morning, who got a call from Lifeline that my mother was having a medical event. It was snowing heavily here which delayed my arrival at her place. The ambulance was just leaving as I got there, so I ended up spending the day with her. It was a good day, even though it started poorly.

Weather here was around freezing and miserable. Lots of snow, then transitioned to heavy rain, high winds, slush.... When all was said and done I'd been soaked multiple times and had wet feet that looked like I'd been in a pool all day. Think I've ruined my dress shoes. S'OK as they make more. I really wasn't dressed for all the running around I ended up doing today with my mom. It was supposed to be a quiet day at the office.

By the time I got home around 5pm, it was time to spend over an hour trying to snow blow the wet heavy slush snow. The new Honda worked quite well, with only a few times I had to stop to clear the blocked chute. When that was finished, it was time to salt the driveway by hand.

Glad to see the rest of you got into some doings, even if weather wasn't always ideal.

See you in the AM!

Obo.
 
And if I forget to say it later, as sometimes happens, I’ll add my get well wishes for your mom.

Did you at least make her some coffee so she’ll feel better?
