Yep, Saturday it set a new record for the high temperature. It was 98 degrees. Today is Labor Day and check out the view from my front door (yes, front door journalism). The winter chill is coming and it’s only 63 degrees today. It will get a bit warmer through the week, but this must be a harbinger of things to come. So, Al, where is the global warming?
Hi all,
I hope all of you are doing fine. This is a photo, again out of my front door with a telephoto lens, of the mountains in front of us just before sunset yesterday afternoon. The weather has been a bit more stable here lately, at least it’s close to normal in temperatures…that is, until TODAY! Now, it is snowing again. They said we may get some light rain, but there is 2″ of snow on my car as I type this. The snow thing is really getting old.
The family is fine, however, and I hope yours is too. Nothing new to report, Mickayla is completely mobile and crawling all over the place. She will be standing and walking soon. Oh yea, there was an earthquake here today, some damage, but I didn’t feel it. It happened near 7 a.m. this morning. Hopefully this place won’t become an ocean again as I live here. Peace, Mike.
Yep, it’s snowing again today, and guess what; it’s going to snow again tomorrow. The weekend, however, will be a heat wave. Yes, folks, it is supposed to get around 34 degrees for the high. I may put on a golf shirt. I notice that Virginia is in the 70′s today, well, I shouldn’t say those words in a blog. Love and rants, Mike
snow stuff! Ok, it has snowed here twice a week since Thanksgiving, and I am getting really sick of it. People have said on the TV that this year has seen the most snow since the early 80′s. Will somebody please inform Al Gore; no heatwave in Utah. We even took a vacation to Virginia to get rid of it and guess what happened? Yep, they had the coldest week of the year with snow, figures.
This is what it looks like out my front door, today, February 4, 2008. It took me 3 hours of shoveling yesterday to remove the 14 inches of snow we got on Sunday. And for you kiddies, they don’t close the schools here when it snows, they just cancel the buses, and then you have to find your own way to school. I hope the weather where you are is much better. I miss my 50-60 degree winters. Love and rants, Mike
Out the front door – Dec. 2007
Hi all,
We got a bunch of snow on Saturday the 8th. It snowed feet in the mountains, but only about 6-8 inches in the valley. It started on Saturday afternoon and lasted through Sunday morning. It made Deana’s drive pretty miserable, and she was late getting in, but all safe. One thing for sure, it makes the Christmas lights and music more enjoyable. It actually feels like Christmas around here. I understand from my brother that it is about 60-70 in Virginia about now. Time to break out the “holly” scented sunscreen, lol.
I hope you are all well and getting ready for Christmas. Our love to you, see you soon.
This is our Christmas front door; Love, Mike.
Hi all,
I bet you didn’t wake up to this where you are. It is October 21 and I took this photo standing in my living room with the front door open this morning about 8 a.m. Those of you in Virginia are probably jealous, since you will have high 70′s and dry weather today. This was a pretty easy, quick storm that dumped in the mountains and got cold enough to blanket the grass, no snow on the streets, but it is beautiful.
I hope this finds you all well and we miss you. Love, Mike
