Looks like more rain than snow, had the cold air mass dropped down one day sooner we’d be up to our hoo-haws in snow.Quote:

I don't know about you guys but I didn't know there were "rainy seasons" outside of rain forests. I'm sick of living in Seattle.Quote:

This morning my wife says I need to re-caulk the little gap at the bottom of the front porch steps; thinks it’s letting the trickle of water into the basement when we get a downpour. It’s too cold out to caulk anything right now.
Let's just say I'm literally pricing sealant in 55 gallon drums. its a big roof.
May also go with a large number of surplus umbrellas.
Geez, this snow model.

I SAID I WAS KIDDING
BEvans, just so you know I've arranged for a very special snow removal for the weekend. All the snow in my drives and my gallery is being picked up, loaded and dumped in your driveway as a special way thanking you for putting the hex on things.
:)
The snow really doesn't worry me in Lexington, looks like we'll be on the edge of it and the roads are still warm. it's the wet and the temperature that is going to lead to ice and a roof problem I'm having that is the crappy part.
The sheer volume of rain is just kicking our collective butts around here. Crops are rotting in the fields, it's depressing b/c we never see the sun and it's like living in the Matrix universe.
Read somewhere that 5 of the top 10 years for heaviest rainfall in Louisville have occurred in the last 20 years. I call it the Ohio valley rainforest.
Got a polar plunge on the way. Lower single digits heading this way...

I left out a decimal point, but our 0.5-1.0 inch of snow will be like anyone else's blizzard. Attachment 7681
I’m old, I remember before they had the scroll, and you had to wait for them to read through the list. We’d have the TV on as well as a couple different radios on different stations to get who’d read them first.Quote:

Hell I remember walking to school (elementary, about 1/4-1/2 mile away) because the bus didn’t show—or maybe I’d missed it—in the snow and finding out when I got there that school had been called off. Luckily there were a couple of teachers there that let me warm up.
We lived about 30 miles from Bowling Green and the only TV stations we had were in Nashville. We had to listen to the radio to find out about school closures. If there was no music or talking on the local radio station we knew school was closed because the station owner could not make it to the station to begin the broadcast.Quote:

One of us is doing this thing wrong.
Growing up in Greenup County, there were few things sweeter as a kid than to wake up, see snow, turn on WIRO 1230 AM and hear the morning guy (I think it was the great Ronnie Bell) intone deeply, "ALL SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED." Didn't have to wait for him to read the list and hope your school was on it--just go right back to bed.Quote:

Lexington's average precip is 45.21 inches. for 2018 we were just over 70 inches. SEVENTY. Two feet over average, and the all time record for Lexington for the years recorded.
I don't think it's let up a bit in January of this year either. We get about 3.19" in January on average, not sure if we've beaten it in total rain, but I don't think we've gone more than 3 days without rain in a while.
I can’t remember the DJ, but as kids we got the good news from WLAP, in Lexington. There was another AM channel, (I’m must be getting old) which I can’t remember their call letters.Quote:

And we're getting a ton more this week, too. I like the mild temps but hate the gray skies and constant rain. I think I'd rather have Polar Vortex and sun. I miss the sun.Quote:

I now have leaks in two roofs, but I need a week of decently warm, dry weather to fix them. Not sure that will ever happen again.
Maybe it's not global warming, maybe the good Lord decided to just re-do the flood thing on a bigger scale this time.
Hey it’s snowing! No, it’s sleeting. Hey it’s snowing again! No, it’s sleeting.
My general attitude today is "I can't even." Getting ready to have 5 days off Thursday-Monday and I feel like Phil Ford in the old UNC 4 Corners offense, dribbling out the clock.
I got about 90 minutes sleep last night. I have been "working" at home today.
Yep, see insomnia thread...Quote:

I hope it doesn't dry out my mud too much. It's nice and thick and soupy, just like I like it.
Just saw a tweet that the Red Bar in Grayton Beach FL burned down:

Terrible news.

He was injected with penicillin on this date in 1941, and overnight his fever dropped and his infection began to heal.
Unfortunately, scientists had been unable to extract enough penicillin to see him through his course of treatment. Eventually he relapsed and died on March 15. But this showed penicillin could be used safely on humans. One point in our timeline where we could say human existence would never be the same.
Interesting.
I have started reducing the number of accounts that I follow, and instead putting them on a list. These are the non-time sensitive, not breaking news kind of accounts.
For example, I have a list for motivational Coaching. I pull it up about once a day to skim it and see if there is something I would like to share with my son or daughter, usually. I have another for high school soccer accounts. Another for college baseball.
That way my Timeline is a little less cluttered, yet all the information I seek about certain areas is available in a neat, clutter-free, organized way when I want it. I'm going to try to do some more and reduce follows.
^Good thought. I do that with local weather guys. Most of the time I don't need them and have them on mute, but if there's a bad winter weather possibility I can go to that list.
That's a very good suggestion on the weather.
Apparently, we're going to be getting the rain you guys have been receiving for weeks. My son's soccer team plays on a natural grass field. We are thrilled with that 95% of the time, since we greatly prefer natural grass to the generally poor turf fields that are located in this area. But with the rain we are having, the home game schedule tonight has already been canceled, and I'm sure the home game that is scheduled Thursday night will also be canceled. It will just be too wet.
Tweet today from a high school soccer program in the area....

Well, it's raining again.
I don't think we have had 3 straight dry days in a year. I'm not sure it's man made climate change, but maybe God doing a redux on the flood b/c he thought it worked better than fire and brimstone.
Not to make light of the constant deluge of rain, but I’m warm and dry inside watching my brand new LG OLED TV.
Holy wow! Some picture!!!
