I feel for you guys in this storm's path. Snow is a pain in the ass and
more so the older you get. Forecast for our area has upped the
snowfall amounts but still not a "killer" storm. Probably get 10" or so.

Now they're forecasting we may get 10 cm by tomorrow. No big deal, it'll just pile on top of what we already have on the ground.

It's drifted up to 60cm in my driveway...and I don't have a snowblower. So for me,
it's a big deal! As long as it doesn't cover the BBQ grill, which I may move into the
garage, we'll be OK.

It is 63 and blowing over 20 out of the north here. Probably not a
good boat day

Some people just *have* to rub it in.

Hey, I am looking for some sympathy. It is too cold to go on a boat
ride ... but we did get out yesterday so it isn't horrible.
I wired in the 1200w IR heater at my wife's chair in the tiki bar so
we are not house bound. I am still OK in my shorts, boat shoes and a t
shirt.
My range seems to be 60-90f without changing clothes.

That might sound warm to you but trust me, it's not. Absolutely no
one is boating today.

It is really just the wind. Yesterday it was OK once we got back in
Jewfish creek but those long straight sections of the river were tough
going out. Coming back I could null out the wind with the throttle and
the sun felt great.
We planted another coconut on the river.
Of the 12 or so that we have planted, there are about 8 that are going
strong. I am putting them on the spoil piles and it seems the ones up
river are doing better than the ones down river. It is either the
salinity or just the quality of the dirt they dredged up way back in
the 60s. (after Donna)

60 light winds and overcast. Need to,tow the boat back to storage. May
get out later this week. Supposed to not rain for a few days. Talked to,a
fishing guide yesterday from Shasta Lake area. Said lake has come up 15'
in the last few days. 60,000 cubic feet a second coming in to the lake.

We have at least 12" in the yard, not counting drifts, and it is suppose
to continue snowing through most of today. The plow guy hopes to get to
us tomorrow evening or early Monday. I'd not in any rush to head out
anywhere, anyway. We are putting seed out on sheets of cardboard for the
birds and are getting a lot of colorful traffic in the backyard.

Wind picks up every so often.
