Same sort of weather pattern here as Kat and Robin but not as cold. Was 32* this morning, got to 46* and heavy cloud cover. But that did feel quite cold after getting to the 90s* and upper 80s* the past two days. The big subject here though, was the wind. I know the rain is tiresome and can cause its own problems, but those poor people and animals in the Texas Panhandle would have given anything for rain. There just was no moisture in the air, then the winds hit. Before going to bed last night I saw video clips of cattle running for dear life and their owners frantically trying to get them out in time. It was heart breaking. The wind roared on and on through the night here. It was eerie.
Squirrel, I'm glad you have a pump that does the job these days. I remember when you used to have a lot of problems with that.
Sexton, keeping Boomer and you in my prayers. Sounds like you got the same wind that passed through here yesterday afternoon and last night. Hope you have enough moisture to avoid fire danger.
Robin, your hand problem sounds so awful. It's hard to think there's no very effective treatment for it but I know you've done whatever can be done.
Kat, I hope your headache and sniffles are a quickly passing thing, and I especially hope the irregularity on your medical tests is nothing serious.
Lil0, nine inches is a LOT of snow to melt so fast. But it's that time of year. I know what you mean about driving in snow or wind. I really need to go to town but I couldn't bring myself to do it today.
Poirot, I pretty much wear knee socks year round. If it were 67* in my house I would be too bundled up to move around and do the basics.
Today I finally finished my taxes, completely! My appointment with the CPA is on Monday. I have a busy week coming, at least the first half of it. But I did rearrange some doctors' appointments to clear the path a bit. ........Speaking of which, my phone rang just a moment ago and it was a recording from the doctor's office, calling to confirm my appointment for Monday. Really? I called yesterday and rescheduled it. I guess their right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.
All of you stay safe and as comfortable as you can.
