Still not warm, but relatively speaking, I guess I will take 25 degrees. I didn’t leave the heat turned up before work today, as it is going to be reasonably cold tonight and the sun should warm things up well. Tuesday night into Wednesday though will be cold. ❄️ That said, I am hoping to get to the store tonight and wash my truck — after the snow yesterday, the salters where out so I figured going to the store and washing my truck was a futile activity. 🚚 But it’s January.
It might warm up come February, although that comes with the asterisk that it might mean more snow. Or maybe it actually will warm up. 🐦 Then my metrologist friend says that March will be cold and snowy, but that’s always off. 🌨 Then comes April. 🌺 I like April as the snow usually is more reasonable, good for going up to the Adirondacks or maybe Central NY. 🏕 Need to camp have a big fire to burn off all the paper and other burnables, 🔥 especially with them no longer having the free paper recycling dumpsters in town. ♻️ The first campfire of the year is always fun, especially with the cold beer.

What do I know, I mean I worked on both Saturday and Sunday. Got in 7 hours of work between those days, including spending most of Saturday afternoon working downtown. And I’m salaried, so that means only Comp Time. So what weekend? LOL!
Partly cloudy and 16 degrees on the earlier CDTA Route 18 heading downtown. ⛅ Calm wind. There are 4.5 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 1 pm. 🌡️
I don’t know, it doesn’t feel that cold. 🌞 That sunshine feels good this morning. I kept the heat turned down but I left the kitchen cabinets open, to be safe with it, and make it extra easy for the mice to get in them and trip over the open drawers. I’m just tired of paying for the extra heat to keep the pipes thawed, even though I’ve never had any problems.
I was up early as I needed to get in the office early to get yet another project finished up. 📄 Another dress up day for work, but I’ve been doing it for so many years that almost all my dress clothes is comfortable, well fitting, easy to wash and get ready for work. Then it will be a big rush to get that stack of work done in the morning.
I am hoping to get to the store this evening and wash my truck. 🚿 I have enough groceries for now, but I am starting to run low and I want to get as much of the salt off my truck as possible before it sits for the rest of the week. I keep wanting to wash my truck, but it’s been tough, as it’s always salty this time of year. I was going to go last night, but it snowed in the evening after seeing the folks, and they applied more salt to the roads to clear them, and with the wet salt, it would have been sprayed everywhere before I got back from the store.
The Biden administration is considering sending as many as 5,000 U.S. troops to Eastern Europe, a U.S. official confirmed to NPR, in what would be a step-up in American military involvement in the region amid growing fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
