SNOW AT LAST



SNOW AT LAST
SNOW AT LAST
THANK GODDESS ALL MIGHTY
SNOW AT LAST

Snow just beginning outside the kitchen window



I am a winter person and this year I feel slighted.  Here it is the 29th of December and we are having our first significant snow.   

This is the winter world that I love


The day temperatures forecast for the next week are right around freezing, which may mean the snow will remain.   Last year at this time we had snow well over two feet, and that base remained all winter. 

The cats don't know what all the fuss is about.
 

I was riding my motorcycle on December 25th – unfucking believable.

Scientist say it is the warmest year on record and a product of global warming; but I blame it on Trump.   You can’t have any conversation this age without Trump in it.

CHRISTMAS IN MAINE 2015




UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE

I have been delinquent this year removing the battery from my motorcycle, which I store every winter under the sink in the bathroom.  But this year has been so unusually warm that, like the grasshopper, I chose to fiddle around and ignore certain winter preparations. 

This morning the temps were forecast to be near fifty degrees, so I plugged the bike onto the charger, and after some chores slipped on my leather jacket (not cold enough for chaps) and fired it up.  

Unfucking believable.   I rode into town and passed two more bikes on the road.   Christmas day on the bike; we should be measuring snow by the foot.

Temps are supposed to drop into the freezing range Saturday night, and for the rest of the week: rain/snow/sleet mix is forecast going into Tuesday, with normal winter temperatures to follow. 

I can put it off one more day, I’ll remove the battery tomorrow.
