In which the weather is totally gorgeous. I took this picture with my cell yesterday. It’s March and this is what’s happening outside. Spring! I asked Gramma if there’d be another cold snap yet, and she declined to speculate. She never gives weather predictions; she just shrugs and says, “We’ll see. I’ve seen years when […]
In which there might be snow. …COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON ON THE WAY WITH SOME SNOW EXPECTED… AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA SUNDAY BRINGING THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON TO INTERIOR WASHINGTON AND OREGON. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW FREEZING FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON…WITH VERY COLD OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES IN […]
In which the weather went just plumb crazy. A massive storm rolled in this morning. We had 60-mile-an-hour-PLUS wind gusts, and the atmosphere was filled with tons of suspended dust. All the stuff on the porch ended up in a pile. Gramma went out and released our retired Christmas tree from its stand, and the […]
In which there’s a weather warning for my area! CONTINUING SNOW IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON…ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. A PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM PUSHED INLAND OVERNIGHT SPREADING PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA. NOW A STRONG WEST TO NORTHWEST UPSLOPE FLOW INTO THE BLUE MOUNTAINS IS AIDING TO PRODUCE SNOW […]
In which it’s raining like hell, and me with only one windshield wiper. The weather’s here, wish you were beautiful. Oh, wait, you are beautiful! Well, it’s just started raining cats and dogs here and Truck and I are leaving in a few minutes to drive to Ottumwa for a gig. On the porch a […]
In which GUESS WHO UNTHINKINGLY WASHED ONLY HER SUMMER CLOTHES like a dumb ass?! I’m no stranger to the mountains. I’ve been meaning to check the Vail forecast for a week now, because I knew it would be cooler up there. I finally did. Check the forecast, I mean. And a good thing, too, because […]
In which it’s so sweet, the weather is! This morning (and by ‘morning,’ you should understand that I mean ‘early afternoon’), I went to the gas station and bought the Sunday Des Moines Register. Then I came home and, in my Indian cotton wrap-around skirt and purple built-in bra tank top that AmmZon gave me […]
In which I’m amazed, dismayed, and groovin’. 1. It fucking snowed. Snowed! On April 11th! 2. I drove past Los Portales and it appears to be closed. Like, permanently. WTF? 3. My b(r)other and I send each other MP3s via gmail. I finally got the last few he’d sent me downloaded and imported into iTunes […]
In which this weather is giving me a sore throat. I’m cold. It’s 28 degrees out and there are flurries. SNOW FLURRIES! The neighbors across the street have half their yard covered in towels to keep their tender young plants from freezing to death. Brrr. In other news, I suck at balancing checking accounts. (That’s […]
In which my financial situation gives me The Dread whenever I think about it, which is not very often. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. Last night, my roommates went to see Clapton in Moline, IL so I had the whole blessed house to myself for the evening. I sat in front of the […]
