Southern Jefferson County - the roads are in good shape, but the weeds and little bushes on Air Commerce have glazed over and Grammy's Altima was coated in a solid sheet. I am home and hunkered down down, and I hope all my Big Blue Brothers and sisters are home, or get home safe as well.
Light misty riain beginning to freeze on tree limbs and vehicles. Bah humbug
Temperature dropped to 44 degrees by lunchtime.
Day started close to 60 as I stayed at home while a plumber installed a new toilet in my downstairs bathroom. Beats the heck out of going to the bathroom with a hole in the floor, I guess, but I knew that my wife's estimate (line needed clearing, she said) of $150 would be a tad low. Like 10%. Grr.
But our s---hole works now!
Hole in the floor? You need to see the shi—ers in Kentucky. They have a bench you can sit on over the hole. Some even have toilet seats on them.
Looking like a bust so far here in Louisville (Jtown). Started flurrying around 2:00 pm, then stopped and now just starting to flurry again. My WAG is about an inch here, maybe 2.
Yeah I’m starting to wonder if they called off school partly because so many kids are out with the flu anyway.
Your Africa works now?Quote:

3:27 right on time and it appears we have escaped snowmegeddon once more.
Looks like almost an inch on my patio table. More than we got last year lol.
Southern Jefferson County, Bullitt-Jefferon line by the Penn Run Golf course and we got an inch, with it looks like 1/4" of ice underneath.
Be cautious on the roads, it is a little unsure under foot this morning.
^Same here in Jtown, Pappy. Pretty to look at but underachieved here in Jefferson County. I think it didn't get cold enough to snow quickly enough, so more freezing rain & less snow.
I felt badly for the Weather Channel guy they dispatched to Louisville to cover "WINTER STORM HUNTER!!!!!!". He was standing downtown on a wet sidewalk most of the day, trying to make a big deal out of little icicles dangling from traffic signs. It's not a big deal unless they send Cantore. Then you know Death's coming for you. :evilgrin0007:
Across the river I got unmeasurable ice with less than 1/2” of snow on top.
Weather guy kept tooting his own horn about how he nailed the forecast. They have a broadcast area of about 300 square miles. He “guessed” 1-5” of snow 1/4-1/2” of ice. I suppose he hit those numbers somewhere in the broadcast area but he had no idea where.
Referees and weathermen, go figure....

God love your heart, blueboss.
Thankfully, I slept until 6:45 this morning.
Insomnia can be a booger-bear.
Hang in their and power nap through the day.
Thanks Pappy...as I type this it’s 2:57.
My insomnia routine is I usually wake up around this time every night for about a half hour.... and tonight is no exception.

Woke up at 3 and 4 this morning, and just got up because I didn't want to oversleep. Was cooking breakfast for my son at 5 so he could eat and go back to sleep before their annual high school soccer run this morning at 7. I will go back to bed when he leaves shortly and hope I can sleep.
Normally I have a class on my calendar every Monday at 8:30, but a) it's Martin Luther King Holiday, so no school, and b) it's a hybrid class, and this semester every Monday they have lectures I have previously prepared and posted, so I have nothing to do for Mondays. But I don't take it off my calendar so I'm always clear on Mondays until 10.
Going back to sleep hopefully until about 9...
Up at 7:30 to find what looks to be more snow from the “clipper” system that’s moving through than snowmageddon from last week..... I think they said we still have another band coming in.

Supposed to get snow here Tuesday. This will be funny. Have a mediation Tuesday scheduled with two lawyers from Chicago flying in for the mediation. They're going to laugh at us when the city shuts down as I suspect. Just hoping the "snowstorm" will be delayed until Tuesday night. Wednesday will be a mess; I'm expecting everything to shut down then.
Yes, we were supposed to get an inch or less--woke up to 5 inches on my back deck in Jtown. Snow day at work, too--driving the wife to work and then "working" from home today. :evilgrin0007:Quote:

Stay safe out there guys and gals...
Off to replace my car battery! Amazing what cold weather does.
(It's at least a three year old battery. I'm not upset.)
Didn’t you just go through this exercise not long ago?Quote:

Probably. I have six cars at my house, so it's inevitable that I'm buying batteries regularly!Quote:

Battery charging advice
You might recall my battery woes last spring while in FL. I started at Auto Zone as Pappy suggested where they determined that it wasn't the alternator or some other electronic issue. They told the battery still had life and it just needed a charge and since it was closing time they didn't have enough time to charge it. I bought a jump box ($50) so I could keep rolling.
The next morning I took the car to a repair shop (Gulf Shores), where they put the car on the charger for about an hour using the full charge mode. After driving twenty or so miles back to condo I turned the car off and I tried starting it...dead again. I think at that point I did the smart thing and got my lap top out and came here and asked you guys. I think it was Pappy that recommended a shop in Gulf Shores. They told me I still had a few months of warranty left on my battery and replaced it for free.
Bottom line figure out where you got it or who carries what you've got...it may still have some warranty left on it.
Yep, that was me... you guys saved the day.Quote:

I had completely forgotten who it was, just that it happened to someone, or I had a dream it happened to someone, or ..., or...what was I talking about again?
Why? What happened?Quote:
