Weather Update – February 8, 2022

Kind of normal February, that is for our warmed climate the next few days ☀

Should finally be a good day to wash my truck 🛻 after work assuming that I can get home at a reasonable time. Hopefully it will help clean up the ice and slop everywhere and make good walking 🚶 on the sidewalks although still have to watch for black ice.

Good Morning – February 8, 2022

|

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. ☁️

Not the nicest morning but at least it’s mild and the heater and the bills it generates is getting a rest. I fear what the Nation’s Gird will read in the next few days and mail to me although honestly I’ll probably come out ahead as I haven’t driven that many miles lately.

It’s cloudy and 33 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁️ There is a northwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 8 am. ☃️

Everything kind of froze up this morning when the mercury dropped below freezing ❄ at dawn but it’s going to thaw up later. I will need to be careful running out to the bus 🚍 this morning although lately I’ve been wearing my steel toe black boots 👢 and changing into the dress shoes when I get to work. 👨🏻‍⚖️

I’m getting tired of having to be creative every meal so later I’m going to the store 🍏 to get groceries and was my truck. Yesterday was too icy and the roads were wet so not a good day to wash the truck. ⛽ One of the first orders though of business will be to get fuel for my truck as it’s basically completely empty.
