Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Ernie]

Low 30s today with light snow. Glad I got the outside work done enough until weather breaks again. Ice festival next weekend. Temps are supposed to be a little warmer. Hope to see things before they melt too much.

Yesterday I started my limb burning project.

I was quickly scrolling past your photos and stopped and said to myself “that looks like Hatch’s property”. Sure enough…

We haven’t had much for snow north of you. Got maybe a 1/2” last night. There have been a few similar snow falls, but all have been gone by noon. No complaints from me on that!

I don’t h ave any pines left on our property, so no big clean up’s anymore. Our spruce and fir are not messy, but we have 3 giant chestnuts that are beautiful but terribly messy. Spring and winter shots of the chestnuts. The flowers in spring are crazy!





It’s raining now, so I’ll probably light a fire in the shop and do some riveting on the Airstrwam in the shop.

Beautiful pics of the chestnuts and that so green grass from spring. Looking forward to spring too. Like you, we have had very little snow. The official snowfall from a couple of days ago was 7.4” at the Spokane airport. Interesting that prior to that this entire snow season only totaled 6.7”. I didn’t get the 7.4” that the airport got, only maybe 4” or so. But finally the mountains are getting snow and all the ski resorts are open.

31 this morning and it’s looking overcast as it gets light. Mid 30’s today with some rain/snow coming in overnight. Another day of outdoor burning for me and I expect after today I have three more days to get it done. I’m taking tomorrow off, no sense standing around in the rain/snow when we are looking at several dry days ahead.

37' and cloudy, but did have a sunny sunrise. Maybe 52' later. Stumbled upon a picture from 9 yrs ago showing 4-6 inches of snow.

The grandson and I went hunting, but only saw a few that were a little out of reach for him. Plus they were running.
We then came home, ate a late breakfast. Then played a little in the back yard.
Henry H001, Rossi 45 colt, Winchester 357 and a Ruger Wrangler. So 4 major firearms Company's represented.

what a difference a day can make, yesterday's high of 78 is long gone .... for today, 48 with a Real Feel of 38 at 4:38 PM .... steady 20 mph wind out of the northwest with gust of 31 mph ... they forecasted today's high to be 58, I'm pretty sure that it ain't gonna get there .... we haven't cranked a vehicle today .... its a good day to have NFL playoff games

Just got home from camp. Temps in the high 30’s but with a steady 50mph wind.

Hey RanchRoper, nice that summer came early this year.

Here across the divide from you it’s 33 and will go up from there to the upper 30’s with maybe 40 by mid week. On and off showers today then dry the rest of the week with the possibility of severe fog for a few days. Typical January other than the above average temps.

Taking the day off from my limb burning project. After three days I’m better than half done. Weather has been perfect for me to work on this. Note the difference in the snow near the fire from day one to day three. That burning sure puts out the heat.
