I'm seeing some saber toothed squirrel outside getting into comical mishaps trying to bury a nut.

Just checked the weather forecast for New Years to see how bad things will be for the delivery person when I order a pizza and... temps will be in the 50s with rain? Yeah, ok.

The cold put a bullet through my car battery. And that cost over 300 bucks to replace because it needed diagnostics to make sure nothing else was wrong.

Been really rainy the past couple days. It stopped at around 10:30 before turning into the first snowfall of the year. The snow was only around for about an hour and a half before the sky finally got clear. Then 20+ MPH winds came in and dropped the temperature to the low teens. Fun times all around.

20 ish degrees around here. Lots of sun but windy too. Decided to walk to the corner store for a few things wearing jorts, a long sleeve undershirt, and a sleeveless shirt over it. Not the best idea.

Good news: We only had a tiny bit of snow. Not even enough for a dusting.
Bad news: It's currently 21 degrees with the wind chill making it feel like 3. It's also very windy with gusts at 27 mph. With all the rain we got overnight and this morning, that water is probably going to become ice. And dealing with ice sucked when I had two fully functional legs. Dealing with it walking around with a torn ACL is going to suck.

Ugh woke up to frozen kitchen pipes.
Luckily the bathroom and shower are fine. Never thought I'd be doing dishes in the bathroom sink and rinsing them off in the shower, but here we are.

Opened my back door. That was a mistake. Had to jump into a several foot high snow pile to get a shovel and dig out enough to close it again. There’s Three feet of drift between the back door and the garage. The rest of the back patio behind the drift? Can still see the brick.
Wind, baby

Wind just blew my back door open despite being locked. So yeah…that kind of wind. I’m guessing the lock froze. Thankfully I have a top lock on the door so it could only open a crack. But I had to move a cabinet in front of it for the night.
Blizzard all day tomorrow to look forward to

Been keeping an eye on this storm. Prayers up to everyone affected by it.
My job is anticipating needing extra anyways to deal with the inevitable surge of auto damage claims. I might end up getting deployed to New York if needed.

The snow we got two weeks ago and the wind caused our flight to get cancelled from Omaha to DC. So we missed Christmas out there.
We're going next weekend, but it won't really feel the same.
F*** winter. F*** snow. F*** cold weather. F*** it all.

I think the weirdest thing about this weather is the fact that overnight last Thursday/Friday, the windchill got down to -46 F. This Thursday, they are calling for the high being 59 F. 113 degree swings in under a week, folks (and yes, I realize this isn't air temperature). Tonight, I was walking to my car after picking up a couple of things at the store and thought, it is rather decent outside. When I started driving, I saw that it was 14 F. That is just a sad commentary on the past few days.

Been a huge pain in the ass here this week because our heater's acting up to where it knocks out our power any time it kicks on, so the whole house has been having to make do with electric heaters and kerosene... and the first night my grandma accidentally burnt gasoline in it instead which miraculously didn't kill us all.

My brother had sonar panels and batteries installed on his home. He is officially off the city power grid. The pictures he was posting sitting all happy and smug in his house while the power was out fir large swaths of the state. He was in his glory.

The amount of times I heard "WE COULD USE SOME GLOBAL WARMING RIGHT NOW" over the weekend was too damn high.
