Tell me the "weather" where you live.

Looks like the world has flipped again. It was 60 here in StL today. Warmer than Disney. Unfortunately it will last about as long as the cold last in Florida.

58 and sunny, but breezy.

One of the absolute JOYS of being a retired guy is that you can flow along with the seasons.

For example, football season runs March-April (spring training), August-January (fall camp and the season/bowls).

Then you get about a 3-week gap in January to refresh until it's time for college baseball practice (late Jan starts) and the season begins (around Valentine's Day).

The college baseball season has a practice period in the fall too. It's wonderful to watch the batting practice, shag home run balls over the left field fence, and sit in the sun during scrimmages.

But now is the winter/spring practice period just before the OFFICIAL season starts. And in Alabama it got up to 72F yesterday for the intra-team scrimmages.



I went today too and it was glorious (but a little hot in the sun - had to move to the shaded side of the stadium).

There is a scrimmage tomorrow - timed, of course, to end about 3 hrs before the Super Bowl. Weather will be sunny and in the 60s on Sunday and at freezing tonight and tomorrow.

But the baseball season officially starts next Friday and to me that is the official start of Spring.

PS - as a season ticket holder I pay an average of $6 a home game ticket for 33 afternoons and evenings to enjoy a baseball game. How great is that? And Two Dollar Tuesdays (hot dogs and sodas are $2 each) during midweek games are a great value for us retired folks. The SEC has the best college baseball in the country. Just sayin'

Current situation.

I'm in the 4-8" band. I don't think we'll get that much, but supposed to keep falling until 12:00pm.

Like any snow in the southern Midwest, it's going to be 50+ degrees by Sunday. So it's just going to be around long enough to be annoying. Thankfully work told everyone to telework today. So I slept in and will do some work and shovel today.

In 60s here, thunderstorms for us mainly looks like. Damn well better than snow.

Sorry about the snow! I hate snow!!

Nice winter weather today, its 63.

 

[Part-Time Paradise]

Update at 1116 Central time.

Still coming. New forecast has my house right on the 4-6" or 6-10" band of potential snowfall now. It's still really coming down.


The drifting on the deck is nuts. It's looking well over a foot. Shoveling out is going to be fun.

For whatever reason, we continue to seem to have some sort of force field against the snowstorms this year. Stayed south of us again. We are enormously below average for the season. Not complaining at all, just worried about the fact that everything tends to average out over time. Not sure I want us to make up the 18", or whatever it is, that is our current deficit!

60+ yesterday. I was in the hot tub last night. Sleet and an inch of snow right now. They say we might get a couple of inches. Supposed to be in the 60s again Sunday and Monday.

This is perfect hot tub weather. Just a little dicey getting in and out.

Glad I don't have to attend those meetings any longer!
But then we have our own hazards!

That's serious stuff up here. The RS comes with Michelin PS4 tires. They are amazing in the dry and wet as long as it is above 40. Colder than that and you might as well be on ice. Thankfully Ford sold it with a "winter tire package".
This is a twice a year ritual.

Hit some of the worst snow squalls I've ever seen when driving DD home from a college visit on Friday. First ever snow squall warning in Milwaukee. Luckily steered clear of the 40 car pile-up about 30 miles north of us when it happened.

Then it was 55 with 50mph winds yesterday.

Tonight it's freezing rain advisories for 24 hours.

Why do we live here?

 

[friendofeeyore]

It is 83 with very high winds today. We are expecting colder weather end of the week.

 

[Part-Time Paradise]

68 and sunny today. Beautiful. Wearing shorts and grilling tonight.

Thursday it's supposed to snow again.
