A Peek Outside

[cmk418]

It snowed! I'm not going to go outside until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Stay warm & safe, y'all.

Yes ...

So pretty!

It snowed here too. The snowplow has already been by though -- usually it doesn't come until the day after the snow stops.

Ours came through after it had stopped, but it piled quite a bit outside our garage door at the apartment complex so I may need to spend some time tomorrow digging out.

Or I may elect not to go back to the office until Wednesday.

If you can afford to stay home, that's probably prudent. We have no plans until Tuesday grocery shopping.

Same here. the snow I'm good with but we got ice on top of it.

[cmk418]

Yuck. With all the cold we had here, I'll be surprised if there isn't. I haven't officially stepped out in it yet- not looking forward to that, but I'll have to shovel out sooner or later.

[cornerofmadness]

But since I got off lightly and kept power so far, I'm not complaining. I'll save that for when I fall to my death trying to get to the car to clean it off

That looks amazing. Although, I'd be holed up until spring. Hope you didn't have to go out into it today.

I shall not mention our current weather. Especially nearer the end of the week.

I worked from home today and will probably do so again tomorrow. (Might post another pic so you can see why).

I'm sure it is absolutely fantastic there at the moment. Enjoy it!

I love seeing the pics even if I feel awful for you guys. Grateful that your company gives you that option.

It's 56º and sunny right now at 1:30 PM, which is chilly for me, but it's going to be really nice by the end of the week. Which I have mixed feelings about. 70º in January means it'll be 450º by July. 🤣

No lie. That's a reason I didn't go to the draft last year because Vegas at the end of June would be too darn hot.

[asphaltcowgrrl]

Yeah, it can be brutal here if you aren't used to the dry heat. And June isn't even truly *hot* yet.

Kaige and I went to the Grand Canyon last June and the tour guide said, "It's going to be a hot one today, a high of 85!" I laughed and everyone on the bus looked at me. 😂

I might have told you this before but when I was in LA, at one point, I was having a shifty Friday and decided to make a weekend of it in Vegas. I arrived at my hotel after midnight and it was still over 100 outside (and the room ac hadn't been turned on so I had too run around the Strip for a couple hours before it got bearable). I'm not sure menopausal me would be as willing.

[asphaltcowgrrl]

I believe it. Summers here are crazy. A year or so ago, I thought my AC had gone south and had to call someone to look at it. It was something like 90 inside and I was chasing the cats down with a wet washcloth so they didn't overheat. Thankfully the AC was okay, but my newly replaced filters were clogged (I swear, I change them regularly, but my humidifier fouled things up).

Being perimenopausal in the desert in the summer is not fun.
