Ugh, why do I live in the Midwest? Oh, right, most of our family is here because they're stupid.

I'm straight West Coasin it... Our 'mean winter storm' is sun shine with a chilly (like 50 degrees chilly) wind...

I don't know. I just caught the weather dude saying something about a wintry mix on Sunday.


Down here the grocery stores pay the meteorologists to drop that line in a forecast two or three times a winter. Clears the shelves.

Tromp, crunch, slog, slip, shiver
Ice weeping from groaning eaves
Scrape, shovel, shovel

I'm ambivalent. Love winter. Love spring. Summer is a hot sticky mess, a months-long hell with little escape. We'll see where this latest turn in weather takes us. I'm looking forward to the ice melt so I can start going on bike rides again.

Living on the edge of the American desert this is how I used to look at it... then I got a pool... now I look forward to the 100 degree plus madness, "Bring it on, I'll just backflip off the diving board bitches!"

See tussin? Buying 'stuff' can definitely improve your personal outlook for the better... ;)

Mother Nature may be losing her grip. 40 today, 50 tomorrow with temps near 60 on Monday.

Yes sir!!! :) Windows will be open this weekend. Yard projects pondering in the head.

Love spring, especially after "The Winter of 2013/14"...hope I don't speak too soon.

And right after I post...the lady starts putting thoughts in my head about getting the grill out on the deck tomorrow. Hard to argue with that.

I looked at our 30 day forecast... not a low below 60... most with high in the high 70's... spring is officially here in Cali.

I must say that I've never quite understood this particular directive.

While I understand its nuance, I've always wondered why one would invite pain in any given circumstance.

Unless you're a masochist addressing a sadist and you like that kinda thing.

Go Irish!

Have a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day.

It got to 53 above here the other day. I was surfing the runoff in the street in front of my house. I was wearing my baggies – and huarache sandals, too.

Just yesterday I could see the arms of my neighbors' backyard Adirondack chair. It had all but disappeared under the snow.

Yesterday my patio finally lost the last of the ice while in my front yard a small pile of snow clings to the last few bits hoping for a restoration from today's snow.

Thought I would help you out. Bite me is a more acceptable phraseology for "blow me", or "fuck off." It ironically was made more popular by television and the movie ratings system, because it was a nuance for something that wouldn't work on TV, and something that might result in a heavier rating that desired for a movie. One time TV and the movies had a positive affect on our behavior!

As far as weather, I have to tell you. We got hit with a foot of the heaviest snow I can ever remember. It came down at 30-32 degrees, so if it went down to the twenties like predicted, we would have had a foot-and-a-half. Toledo must have been the middle of the storm, which is incredibly rare, because Lucas and Wood counties were Level 3 snow emergencies all day. And it was a daylight storm.

I live on a cul-de-sac which has about ten other houses, and of the other nine seven are six are occupied by older couples. One winters in Florida, and I started cleaning it this winter because there kids can't make it over from crosstown. But my one neighbor got caught out of town on business, another was in the hospital, and a third, who is a young "late sixties" broke her snow blower.

The guy at the end that also helps couldn't get his blower down the street to help at our end! So I did like seven drives yesterday. Plus mine has a turn around on the side and a circle in front. It is like any other two. Now I do have a great snowblower, but with the slipping and sliding with the ice underneath, I came in as tired as I can remember. My message to Old Man Winter : "BITE ME!"

Currently it is 1 degree, up to 20 today. What did I do?

We were on the bottom edge of that and got lucky. We ended up with about a half inch. Today it's gone. Back to 50 Friday and Saturday with a forecast of wintry mix on Sunday. Will it ever end?
