Good morning! Happy Snowy Sunday. Snow and 19 degrees in Delmar. β There is a north breeze at 13 mph. π. The current wind chill is 8. There is around a foot of snow on the ground. β οΈNot as much the drama queens like myself were hoping for but it’s still snowing. Things will start to thaw out at Wednesday around 11 am. π‘οΈ It’s what is called winter.
I dug out Big Red this morning while the muffins were baking on coffee brewing β as I wanted to get a jump start on the snow before more came down. β I’m really not sure how much more snow we will get today, for now it’s mostly sleet pelting down. I might start the truck up later in the day as I noticed the battery voltage is a bit low with the cold and even after cleaning off the solar panel it’s not putting out a lot of voltage.πI’ll probably move my truck once the landlord plows the driveway for the second round.
Laying back, watching some videos. I’m going to take a shower in a bit. πΏ Not planning a big day, just want to finish soldering together the new control module and get it working for my LED bar so I can have a those lights working again. I’ll have to work on the phone app more later on.π»

Still have the cold I was starting to get yesterday. πI don’t feel all that sick but my nose has been running a bit but it’s a good day to take it easy with my various projects, reading and watching some of the videos I’ve downloaded in recent days at the library.
