We received a few inches of snow a week ago but the weather changed back to usually temperate days so its gone.  Its chilly but sunny today and will be in the 60's by weekend I read.  No more snow in the near forecast.

Would you two quite swearing. that is a bad word. I could say I hate snow. but that would be wrong, I just hate the cold that comes with it.

 

I would enjoy sitting by the fire. A real fire with wood that you have to start yourself.  with a nice snow coming down. as long as I don't have to go out in it.

 

I need to find a place were the weather is between 55-80 year round.

It's cold and damp. The sort of weather that makes me glad to have a blanket and a cat in my lap.

 

Hugs!

I like snow if you can cross-country ski on it.  However, the white crap that falls from the sky here seldom qualifies.  It's not that there isn't enough of it.  It is that the snow is wet, sticky stuff.  I'd even put up with the cold if it meant we could have nice dry mountain snow.  But it is always humid here.  Oh, well, I suspect my skiing days are over.

 

It has actually been a warmish fall.  It is 7 degrees C today.  Windy, though.  We had a storm yesterday, with lots of rain and high winds.  The remnant of one of those Greek-letter tropical cyclones, I think.  It is still a bit windy now.  But then, it always is here.  Our house is 1 km from the shore of the Bay of Fundy.

 

I have done everything in my power to prevent snow this year.  I brought out the snow shovels and stationed them at the front and back doors.  I put the roof rake in the woodshed, ready to prevent ice dams on the skylights.  I fired up the snowblower to make sure it starts okay.  And I put the winter tires on the car.  If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.

Well @KymmieL it stopped snowing and didn't stick so I guess I will just go in my studio and write a song.....

It snowed hear Monday night. This brings to mind winters at home up north. One of my favorite things was sitting in my living room with a fire in my stove (which had a glass window in the door), listening to some beautiful quiet music, and watching the snow falling in the forest behind my house. It made the forest feel enchanted!

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

Pretty much cold, wet and now we get frosts overnight, so my summer bedding is starting to blacken and will soon need pulling out and adding to the compost heap. Trouble is, it's COLD and WET and it's 'Orrible!

Cold. Wet. Winter weather advisory. My spouse is driving home from farther North today because her father... her ninety-year old blind, deaf, and barely ambulatory father... insists on living in the middle of the woods, alone.

I plan to spend as much of the day as possible wrapped up under a blanket with one or more cats.

 

Hugs!

It's just cold and over cast here today. Guess it'll be another day in pj's. I need the snow to hold off for another month. Aside from our move I have to repair/replace the fence around our new yard. Anyone know if there's a prayer to the Goddess for this?

I generally just ask the Spider Goddess with sincerity and love in my heart. She's very patient. You need to do the hand gestures though.

@ElizabethStar  My wife is a weather witch I will ask her. How do I know she is a weather witch? There was a huge storm coming our way when we married on December 12th and she had the storm go around us and it hit south and North of us.

Pretty much overcast and a bit cool - 59°F.  I guess that's something like 15° for the rest of the world.

I'm keeping a smoldering fire in the heater, just to keep the chill off.

 

I was raised in upstate NY, so I like to see a snow, maybe once a year - as long as it melts quickly.  I've lived in the south over 50 years now and am thoroughly spoiled.

It is another overcast day with some rain and about 41F. We have had the heat on for a bit now, so it is helping. I am kind of looking forward to snow in some ways coming up, probably because I don't have to drive to work this winter.

Amen to tele-jobs - easier to be yourself and smile and wear your jammy's

Link to comment

@Shay Can't say in the jammy's all day per the therapist, that is a mood driven behavior that leads to worsening depression for me. However, yes, I can dress and be self expressive all I want with the remote job, as I don't even have to be on video.

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
